http://j.mp/17hSis8  (New York Times)

    Security researchers are calling LinkedIn's new mobile app, Intro, a
    dream come true for hackers or intelligence agencies.  "I'm
    flabbergasted by this," Richard Bejtlich, the chief research officer
    at the computer security company Mandiant, said in an interview on
    Wednesday. "I can't believe someone thought this was a good idea."
