I installed the Android version of this app and it is one of the worst mobile apps I have seen. For starters, it would demand to type in the anti-spam message on your phone which you can barely read. I could not login repeatedly. Yet on the PC where spam occurs frequently it does not ask for that. Worse yet, it runs every time you start your phone and starts to tell you about useless activities of your contacts all the time. Why on earth would I want to know if so and so has updated their "skills" on my phone? It is the first app I uninstalled on my phone.

Anyway, now they have this wonderful security leak it seems. They should spend some of their IPO money they got to put their house in order: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57...reportedly-leaked-online/?tag=mncol;morePosts

A hacker says he's posted 6.5 million LinkedIn passwords on the Web -- hot on the heels of security researchers' warnings about privacy issues with LinkedIn's iOS app.

Updated: LinkedIn says it hasn't yet identified a security breach.
