RE: The HIVE Blockchain is Now Represented on LinkedIn.com

in #hive5 years ago

Appreciate you taking time to give detailed feedback on your feelings about this as well as potential attack vectors for scammers. The page itself is basically a link to hive.io which as far as I know is the "official" page for the HIVE blockchain. The brief description on the page states we're a decentralized blockchain with 3 second blocks and zero transaction fees.

I'll check and see what I can do on my end to negate people using the HIVE Blockchain work place on linkedin to pull scams on others. Although it just as easily could have been a malicious 3rd party that created the page and sent people to a phishing site or something.. So silver lining in that aspect that atleast one of the long time community members made it.

Only just recently caught wind of the asshats running around pretending to be HIVE officials and scamming people, however it makes sense with all that going on why people are apprehensive about this.

Thanks again for your thoughts and constructive feedback.

Very true. Maybe there is a way you can prevent users from adding the workplace to their profile without some kind of approval? I honestly haven't ever really administered a LinkedIn page before so not sure what it allows for granular permissions.

I'm looking into it now. For sure.

My first time as well with the whole LinkedIn page thing so still learning. That is a good idea though if it's possible to monitor exactly who is claiming what in regards to HIVE on there.
