It's about Russian spies working on Wall Street, and them being busted by the FBI.

Nothing to do with LinkedIn as far as I can see.

Its a play on the 'The Spy Who ___ Me' title meme. I thought it was very fun and did a good job communicating how mundane the lives of the spies really were, which appeared to be a thesis or at least supporting point of the article.

Tl;dr: Russian spy brought bug into secure facility, revealed other spies. FBI deals with it.

Not sure why LinkedIn is even mentioned... a quick search on the whole page (ignoring the title/post categories) is just this one sentence...

> By day, Buryakov lived the ordinary life of a Wall Street analyst: reading and writing reports; attending meetings, conferences, and parties; building connections on LinkedIn.

But its an interesting read, even with the weird title...

The title is alluding to James Bond. Poorly.

I don't know. You caught the reference. Seems like it worked.

That I was able to work out the intention of a sentence does not mean the sentence should have existed in the first place. It's already used up more of my time than any actual content—why didn't they use a descriptive title?

It made us click...

Imagine the kind of clicks you'd get with a title that related to the content!
