I'm curious. Was Linkedin always so bad at securing its (our) data or things have gone downhill ever since the acquisition?

It is becoming a regular thing, almost part of the news cycle. "In other news, yesterday was the biannual data leak from Linkedin".

It is outrageous.

It was always that bad. In fact it probably used to be even worse.

I've know a few people who worked at LinkedIn prior to the acquisition. They say it was worse before.

At one point, early on, they lost everyone’s passwords. Doesn’t get much worse than that.
