Tell HN: Banned from LinkedIn for Reporting Wickr Drug Spam

667 points by silent_speech 4 years ago | 237 comments

It made the news recently that Wickr (Amazon owned E2EE chat app) is full of illegal imagery.

I read about this on my LinkedIn feed then decided to search for "Wickr" there to see who else was talking about this. The search returned dozens of spam messages offering drugs in Asia and the US with information to contact on Wickr for price.

I reported these drug spam posts to LinkedIn - which is supposedly an anonymous report.

Next day I got a flood of reports on my own comments (nothing to do with that topic), so many I didn't bother to appeal as I had other things to do. Few hours later my account was down.

Seems that for retaliation the drug network decided to find me out and use their accounts to subvert LinkedIn's policy and ensure I can't stop their spam. They have new spam up now while my account is gone.

No good deed goes unpunished I guess.

I recommend filing a report with the Microsoft Security Response Center, especially in light that a malicious party may now have information on you, and as people below pointed out there may be (1) risk of Doxing, and/or (2) there are some suggestions that Microsoft (LinkedIn) employees may be compromised.

I recommend we let LinkedIn implode under the weight of useless spam and indifferent ownership.

Network directly with engineers where they spend time online. Not recruiters in purpose built HR portals.

Waterluvian 4 years ago | | |

This is probably a good case to remind people: You ("engineers who want to network") are a small fraction of the LinkedIn userbase. You cannot begin to accurately grok how the vast majority of users use and feel about LinkedIn. Your opinions are valid (and I share them fully). But be careful not to assume that the way _you_ interact with LinkedIn is universally shared.

> Network directly with engineers where they spend time online

Where would that be? I wouldn't recommend HN for networking purposes.

grammarnazzzi 4 years ago | | |

I tend to agree with this.

Spending time reporting issues and care-taking Microsoft is a waste of time.

Don't bother doing things for Microsoft that Microsoft is perfectly capable of doing itself. Nothing is stopping Microsoft from solving problems like this themselves. They don't give a shit.

If Microsoft had not acquired LinkedIn in 2016, it might still be led by people whose lives depended on the health and integrity of the site. Microsoft effectively poisoned Linkedin.

I wonder whether by compromised you mean:

1. compromised in the spy movie sense of them voluntarily passing information to the scammers (potentially for money)

2. compromised in the IT security sense of their accounts or computers having been hacked

3. some superset of 1. and 2.

codetrotter 4 years ago | | |

> in the spy movie sense

It’s not just in the movies.

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/a-closer-look-at-the-lap...

> Microsoft says LAPSUS$ — which it boringly calls “DEV-0537” — mostly gains illicit access to targets via “social engineering.” This involves bribing or tricking employees at the target organization or at its myriad partners, such as customer support call centers and help desks.

> “Microsoft found instances where the group successfully gained access to target organizations through recruited employees (or employees of their suppliers or business partners),” Microsoft wrote.

aspectmin 4 years ago | | |

Probably simpler than both of those, more as in - there are allegations/comments suggesting that there may be individuals holding trusted positions who may not be as trustworthy as one would hope (based on the potential pathways by which malicious parties may have identified the OP).

Insider threat is still a significant concern to companies, and were one representing Microsoft one might want to at least take a peek at what happened and make sure nothing untoward is occurring.

Standard Disclaimers apply. I am not a Microsofty, nor do I play one on TV. Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear.

I’m not sure I understand the value of reporting this to Microsoft? Wouldn’t it be better to submit an online tip to law enforcement? Is Microsoft doing law enforcement activity now?

LinkedIn is a Microsoft product, so they would have the ability and interest in understanding what broke here.

As huhwat said - LinkedIn is part of Microsoft now. As such it is within the auspices of the MSRC

I wonder if more those accounts have pro and can see you viewed them recently, probably multiple accounts are owned by the same groups so when they get a report on a bunch of posts they simple map "who looked at both profiles".

LewisVerstappen 4 years ago | |

They don't even need LinkedIn Pro btw, they just have to turn Private Mode off.

If you let other people see that you viewed their profile then LinkedIn will let you see who viewed your profile.

So yeah your theory seems most likely unless OP had Private Mode turned on for his profile (then they wouldn't be able to see that he saw their profile regardless of whether or not they have LinkedIn Pro).

iso1631 4 years ago | | |

My ESTA ran out shortly after covid started, and I didn't renew it until Febuary this year.

Shortly after putting in for it, my linkedin reported I had a visit from a "Law Enforcement professional from the Washington-Baltimore area", which I thought was amusing.

trinsic2 4 years ago | | |

I left LinkedIn years ago when I realized they were co-opting my ability to link to external articles by creating there own framework to attempt to get all their users to post updates strictly on there own platform.

This Linux journal article talks about how we are losing our freedom of expression and one of these areas are the war on hyperlinks: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/whats-our-next-fight

Support social networking sites that don't try to lock you into there ecosystem by making communication less free.

Isn't that a bug? If you report someone,the person should not be able to see who reported them, right??

0x0000000 4 years ago | | |

Not if the viewer has Private Mode on. Having Private Mode off for yourself is not sufficient to see who viewed your profile.

All this counter-intuitive crap is why I don't ever even open LinkedIn.

peterburkimsher 4 years ago |

I had LinkedIn until October 2021.

A colleague was leaving, and I'd been asked to go around the team of 200 people, gathering farewell greetings. Another work project at the same time was the software language translations for our product.

I manually trimmed the list of 200 colleagues down to 70 "international" names. Then I manually searched for each colleague on Google, and clicked the first link. Usually that was Facebook or LinkedIn.

I manually viewed 55 LinkedIn profiles over the course of 2 hours, and copy-pasted out only their "spoken language" field.

LinkedIn proceeded to block my account. "Your account has violated the LinkedIn User Agreement and Professional Community Policies. Due to the number and/or the severity of these violations, this account has been permanently restricted."

Politely explaining the situation to several customer service agents [Case: 211020-004202] didn't help. Had I been warned about viewing too many profiles too quickly, I'd certainly have slowed down! My actions weren't automated. I'd rather return to their online community and make this a learning experience, if possible.

Being unable to use LinkedIn may affect my future career prospects, but I feel powerless to change it at this stage.

smcin 4 years ago | |

> I manually viewed 55 LinkedIn profiles over the course of 2 hours, and copy-pasted out only their "spoken language" field.

It sounds insane, but I suspect what tripped their heuristic was not so much looking at a lot of profiles but not messsaging any of them within LinkedIn's messaging system, which is their use-case for making money (recruiter/journalist/hiring manager/etc.) So your browsing behavior appears to LI's heuristics either like a scraper or a legit user who isn't likely to convert into a paying customer, and they simply don't care which you are (whatever the TOS might allow).

I'm shocked LI's heuristics are that bad. I recommend you post your issue here (suitably anonymized) as a separate thread (link from here), and I expect it'll get upvoted.

I never thought I would say this but LinkedIn seems to have gone even further downhill than it was a few years ago. You know things are bad when even the low end recruiters seem to have left the platform. These days 90% of the contacts/connect requests I receive are from dodgy pension "advisors" trying to get their hands on my pension pot cash.

Not directly related, whenever I get a new connection request, it is hard to tell if a person is real. Particularly if I don't know them first hand. The job history can be fake and profile photo generated by some GAN. It sucks but yeah, then later on they pitch something to you.

dorfsmay 4 years ago | | |

Where else do you think people are going for informal networking / keeping up with old contacts?

(Ie just the messaging part)

Quequau 4 years ago |

I moderate a few subreddits over on Reddit and spam purporting to be offers for black market drugs of abuse which use messaging services like Wickr & Telegram have been a problem for years.

Worse, it's shockingly difficult to convince the site admins of Reddit to decisively act on this sort of content, even though it's explicitly against their site-wide policies. I suppose this is probably the case for every site which hosts user submitted content and an upper management focused on easily produced metrics like "number of posts & comments per time unit".

edcastano 4 years ago |

I am a PM with LinkedIn. DM me and I can try to funnel this to the right channels. I'll be the first to say that there are a lot of problems with LinkedIn, but the company's "heart" is generally in the right place.

barneygale 4 years ago | |

Why are you recommending private support channels? Shouldn't OP use your regular customer support channels?

whoknew1122 4 years ago | | |

Private support channels just speed things up, because you can directly go to the right teams/people. A large, distributed workforce working on large, complicated web applications means escalation channels get murky.

Front line support is unlikely to be able to help you here. This doesn't seem like a particularly common occurrence. Here's how things typically go with weird cases like this:

1.) Support agent gets the case and says 'Uh, what do I do with this?' Escalation to team lead. 2.) Team lead reviews case and doesn't know what to do. Team lead escalates to manager. 4.) Manager reviews the case and tries to figure out the right team to send this to 5.) Manager sends it to a team. Team reviews the case. If it's the right team, they'll start investigating. 6.) If it's not the right team, the manager has to figure out another team that could be responsible for the case. 7.) Repeat 5&6 until the right team is identified

This all takes time. And assumes that the original customer support agent actually understands the issue for the security issue it is. Many frontline customer support agents are not particularly technical, so the agent may not even understand they have a security event on their hands.

Or, a PM who knows the right people to go to, offers help and things get quickly escalated.

As a former longtime LI pro user and LI user at launch... I'm not surprised. LI loves spam and they have no intention of really doing anything about it. I refused to keep paying for such a low quality service. This has not negatively affected my consulting networking or revenues at all. Good riddance. It can go in the trash with FB.

dwt204 4 years ago | |

After reading all of this, it might be time for me to wean myself from LI, so any tips you may have would be great. I run a small pro bono (sometime contracts) for apprenticeships and workforce development in disadvantaged working class and BIPOC communities. Revenue not so much as the networking is the thing that seems to be my biggest challenge without LI

Fargoan 4 years ago | | |

I've only ever heard one person use the term BIPOC to refer to themself in real life. Do people actually say this? Other than that one guy, I only ever see the term online or hear it on NPR. And it seems to have only popped up in the last couple of years. My initial reaction when I heard it was that it seems kind of racist and weird to single out Indigenous and Black people then lump together the rest of the various groups of not White people in the world.

trinsic2 4 years ago | | |

I left linkedin for all the shady things they are doing, see my previous comment for more information: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31762904#31767463.

I rely mostly on my my website for marketing and some twitter. I write articles in my field that focus on topics that are not well covered, but important. When I create relevant content, google picks it up.

It sounds like your field relies a lot on word of mouth, so maybe you can get your audience to talk about subjects that are important, by breaching topics that are a concern for your audience.

Happened to me with telegram. Reported a scammer in relevant tg channels, next thing I know , several users reported me, and telegram blocked me for spam.

vintermann 4 years ago | |

Yup. I got some dkim-signed scam mails ("you have won an X" and "missing package details" scams) from a Danish domain, I figured that Denmark was civilized enough that it was worth it to try their domain provider's abuse reporting. Nope, I got an explosion of spam after that, including some that looked like sign ups for genuine newsletters (as much as anything without double opt in can be considered legitimate). Looks an awful lot like the domain registrar decided to punish me with more spam for trying to get their scammer buddy kicked off.

the_biot 4 years ago | | |

It's pretty common for e.g. hosting providers that don't take spam seriously to just forward complaints to their spamming customer. Exactly the opposite of what they should do, and you've seen the result, but some companies just don't care.

sva_ 4 years ago | |

Telegram is the worst in terms of spam. I joined some public group chats related to my city and in the middle of the night those channels get spammed with Islamic State recruitment videos.

thestepafter 4 years ago |

So you are saying that on LinkedIn if you report something the owner can see the name of who reported it?

Nextgrid 4 years ago | |

They shouldn't, but I wouldn't be surprised if the people that are supposed to review the reports are bribed or compromised. I'd imagine it's outsourced to the lowest bidder, as customer service & moderation typically is in any big/scummy company.

jrumbut 4 years ago | |

You can often see who viewed your profile. There probably weren't too many people viewing more than one of their profiles.

Of all the social networks, I never would've guessed that LinkedIn is the one people turn to when they want to sell drugs.

It's not surprising. LinkedIn has been shady from the start.

People shouldn't forget that they used to scrape your contacts from your email account through some sneaky user flow that got you to give them your email password.

Like you, I'd thought I had a good run without it.

More recently, I noticed that some of the people who were way junior to me earlier in my career, are way ahead of me because they were strategically switching jobs every 1-2 years. After speaking to some of them, the common factor turned out to be LinkedIn, and I begrudgingly rejoined it in January.

This is one of the reasons I maintain offline list of all my LinkedIn contacts and also why I ban LinkedIn feed through AdBlock with custom rule. I currently use LinkedIn solely as medium enabling recruiters to cold call me, and as such it is good place to have an account because quite a few recruiters are there.

johnklos 4 years ago |

Seriously: How do we know that these spammers who're using Wickr aren't directly paying LinkedIn and are being protected by LinkedIn?

People used to say I was nuts when I said LinkedIn outright make things up, that they try to track much more than they rightly ever should, and that they were doing nefarious things with the data they collect, but of course now we all know that was true. We don't even know the true extent of their fabrications.

Could LinkedIn be doing whatever it takes to make some extra money? It would neither be surprising nor unexpected in the least.

Because they've had official policy that was user-hostile in the past.

Do social networks stand a chance against infiltration? With the high turnover of moderators, it's easy to get somebody on the inside to get to know the inner workings of the moderation process.

Nextgrid 4 years ago | |

A different business model that 1) requires less moderators and 2) makes money so you can pay the remaining moderators enough that they actually stick around for longer and are less prone to bribery.

1 can be achieved by making it costly to break the rules. If new accounts have fees and privileges that accumulate over time (such as being able to post links, upload media, etc basically anything that is prone to abuse) then people will be less likely to break the rules since creating a new account will cost them money and time having to "level up" the new account before it can be useful again. This raises the cost of spamming dramatically and will often make it unprofitable.

Stack Exchange has a model of this where new accounts with little "reputation" can't do much and are heavily rate-limited & unable to post links/images and gaining reputation involves contributing to the community which makes spam significantly harder. The same "reputation" system is used to encourage people to moderate the community (in a way that requires input from multiple people & fully transparent, so misuse is hard and will be easily detected).

2 involves making money which means "growth & engagement" goes out the window and you need to charge for the service. Not being based on "growth & engagement" means you can also achieve 1 because you can now be selective with the kinds of people & content you accept.

> it's easy to get somebody on the inside to get to know the inner workings of the moderation process.

Knowing the process shouldn't be a problem. Ideally the process should already be public - aka the list of "rules" one should abide by when joining the community.

This is a non-problem that forums from back in the day managed to solve on a much lower (often zero) budget. It's only a problem when your business model is "growth & engagement".

gxt 4 years ago | |

I don't understand why there isn't a protocol like email, but for "social media". Something like that combined with decentralized moderation ie you pay x group to filter out trash from public feeds and use that as default. Not happy with that moderation? Pick another one.

Not sure what illegal imagery has to do with drugs? AFAIK pictures of drugs is not illegal, the only pictures that I'm aware of that might be considered illegal would contain child abuse stuff, personal info, classified info?

Social media is so dominated by just a few companies and most of them in America and most of them close together geographically.

I think after a social media network reaches X or XX number of million users, all users should have the right to appeal getting blocked / deleted / removed arbitration by an independent third party

Just on Wickr itself. I wonder how secure it really is. Amazon only makes me suspicious. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out later that the algorithms implementation wasn't perfect. Or just straight out backdoor.

PGP is the gold standard but the ease of use wins again.

masterof0 4 years ago | |

Very, I know people who work there, they open sourced their crypto engine [1]. They also struggle with people using WickrMe for bad stuff because of how little info they collect from users (no phone required, true e2ee encryption, and so on...)

If that's true then:

1. Either LinkedIn is hacked by drug mafia 2. Or drug mafia has people inside LinkedIn

But first thing - you should share you full report that you've sent to LinkedIn. You don't risk outing yourself - since mafia already knows your account.

Never happened this to you? Report bot spam?

People did it for years in CSGO.

Just reaching a certain number of reports was an automatic ban. 2 years or something without fix, funny times.

dontbenebby 4 years ago |

Probably because "view as" isn't anonymous, even if you adjust your privacy settings. (It'll say things like someone from X uni or with Y title viewed... easy to intuit who looked)

On my end, I had issues after I "looked up" someone convicted of a serious crime[1] who lived in my area code.

(I was looking into a different set of bad people. Apparently there's a lot of evil people on the internet. Not just the "dark web". They are everywhere, and abuse their access if they sense you're gunning for them in any sense of the word. The kids call reacting like some of did in real life "telling on yourself")
