The Case Against The LinkedIn Profile Hijackers—Kevin Stephens...
Kevin Stephens is a veteran. He describes himself as:
“Having military operational deployments, I am able to combine both “frontline” and strategic capabilities. I plan the country security approach for all personnel, business assets, on-premise data, and reputation by mitigating theft or compromise. I blend both a “helicopter” big picture view with a “frontline” awareness. I understand intuitively how they link – and can, if not managed, diverge.”
Like all who serve, he’s clear and intentional in his communication. Now, it’s a bunch of “Kindly send me a connection request...” comments. This profile’s been on LinkedIn since July 2009, and the last real comments were from over a year ago. I explain three reasons why an account is a prime target for hijacking in episode 5 of my podcast. Title, “Attractive Vulnerability…”
It’s not safe, but that doesn’t mean nothing can be done.
It’s clear it’s up to us not only to protect ourselves, but to alert others.

Report #: 250708-036371
To those who are employed, I ask you to do one thing: turn the green banner on just for a day or two and see what job seekers deal with daily. Then, imagine it were you, or your children if they’re old enough to be in the workforce, or your mother and father. Make it personal.
What would you feel if they were scammed or marginalized because of their age?
Stay vigilant…
