According to a report by Bloomberg, LinkedIn has filed a lawsuit against unknown cybercriminals regarding the mass creation of fake accounts used for spam campaigns and other malicious actions.
The company does not know the identity of the perpetrators, but it has evidence that the attackers are using special tools to automate the registration process on the social network. Interestingly, the tools are designed in such a way that it is impossible to detect their illegal activity.
Although the perpetrators have not been identified, the lawsuit could help identify them, as it gives the company the right to contact internet service providers for more information that may shed light on the case. On the other hand, even if the cybercriminals cannot be identified, the social network may simply want to intimidate them.
