Well there was the well publicised man-in-the-middle attack by Linkedin.

They repurposed user login details to silently rerouted all the user’s email through their servers for scanning and mining.

That seems like a pretty dark pattern to me. To my knowledge no one got fired for unethical behaviour over that.

The company seems to have a “don’t get caught” attitude to privacy.

Okay, I didn't actually know about (or remember) that one.

Regardless of their intentions, I don't understand how anyone could have thought that was a good idea.

Isn't that technically not mitm? That would imply the user was using linkedin as a mail client/proxy or something. This is closer to fraud or phishing.

Yeah, that's the 3rd time today I've seen someone use that word wrong on here.
