LinkedIn Spam Campaign

We’ve noticed a significant increase in realistic looking LinkedIn reminder spam e-mails over the past week.

The e-mail appears to arrive from messages-noreply@bounce.linkedin.com on behalf of LinkedIn communication [communication@linkedin.com] and is an exact copy of the official LinkedIn reminder e-mail.

Hovering over the link show us that the spam e-mail is attempting to direct us to a redirection page on a hacked website.

After clicking the link, several redirects take place until we finally land at a fake pharmacy website.
