LinkedIn security problems may come not from the website itself but from people trying to abuse it. Digital attackers launched a spear-phishing campaign on LinkedIn in April that used fake job offers to spread malware.  The attackers attempted to trick professionals into opening a .ZIP file that used the same job position as the one listed on their LinkedIn profiles. That .ZIP file could then download more_eggs, a backdoor. It’s capable of running numerous malicious plugins, as well as enabling remote access to a victim’s computer. Read on to learn how attackers are using threats like more_eggs malware to go after people on LinkedIn. More_eggs, More Problems Researchers at eSentire disrupted the LinkedIn security spear-phishing incident. In this case, the attackers had targeted someone in the health care sector. Upon opening the .ZIP file referenced above, the campaign ran VenomLNK as an initial stage of the more_eggs backdoor. This resource misused Windows Management Instrumentation in a fileless attack chain. From there, TerraLoader, the backdoor’s plugin loader, could hijack legitimate Windows processes and present the victim with a fake Word document. The file masqueraded as a legitimate job application in an attempt to distract the victim from more_eggs working in the…

Ralf Brandstätter shared details of the model, which is an ID.3 with parts from the ID.4 GTX.Volkswagen ID XVolkswagen CEO Ralf Brandstätter has shared images of a new electric hot hatch concept car on his LinkedIn page.Called ID X, it appears to be a fun project that was thought up by engineers on the firm’s electric vehicle division.It’s based on an ID.3 hatchback, but uses the powertrain from the ID.4 GTX, which Volkswagen is calling its first electric performance car.(VW)As such, it replaces the ID.3’s 62kWh battery with an 82kWh version, while power has been bumped to 323bhp. It has all-wheel-drive, which likely means this power hike has been achieved through the use of the GTX’s twin-motor system, though the power output here is about 40bhp higher.In his LinkedIn post, Brandstätter said: “We just introduced the ID.4 GTX. Our first electric performance model is very well received. Even with our engineers – because with it they have discovered the fun of developing high-performance electric cars. And so we just let them do it.”Brandstätter says he has been testing the running prototype and was ’thrilled’ by its performance, with a 0-60mph time of 5.3 seconds making this very fast indeed, helped…

Trading an ebook for a prospect’s contact information is among the purest forms of content marketing. It’s an effective way for B2B sellers to find their next customer. B2B companies supply the products that ecommerce and omnichannel sellers retail to the general public. I was recently reminded how a simple ebook can be an excellent B2B customer acquisition tool when I downloaded one from Affirm, the installment loan company, in exchange for my LinkedIn profile information and email address. Here are some of the insights I drew from Affirm’s ebook. This screen capture is from the cover page of Affirm’s ebook. The bright and colorful image was also featured in the LinkedIn ad. Using an Ebook for B2B Lead Generation 1. Capture a lead. Affirm’s ebook was presumably developed as a lead capture device. Consider the evidence. It was featured in an ad on LinkedIn. Its title, “5 customer acquisition tactics you might be missing,” takes advantage of the fear of missing out. Lists attract clicks; listicles are sometimes considered link bait. The ad was almost certainly aimed at me because of my ecommerce work. The fifth tactic in Affirm’s ebook is its own service. It prepares the reader for…

2 million posts go up on LinkedIn per day. Crazy number, right? It may seem a monumental task to carve out your own little place amongst that cool 2 mil, but I promise you, it’s easier than it looks. Here are three easy things you can do to improve your posts on LinkedIn. Images First things first, you want to have some sort of image in your post. Photos and videos without links are actually prioritized over posts with links- but that shouldn’t discourage you from sharing links to great content. Make sure every link has a great image to accompany if though. If you blog or website is setup correctly, any link you share should also pull in the accompanying image. This happens through the ‘opengraph’ data, there is a pretty good description here if you want to know how it works. LinkedIn will scan the link you have in your post and pull the featured image from the website. For instance, if you shared this post on social media, LinkedIn will automatically pull the photo with the red smoke from the top of the page. Photos grab the attention of users when they are scrolling through the LinkedIn…
