I am fairly good about keeping my LinkedIn info up to date and adding contacts as appropriate. I just approved two new connections today. After doing those approvals, I decided to take a quick browse through the People You May Know section. It’s always interesting to see what LinkedIn thinks are the holes in my social graph, and since I keep my profile data and connections pretty clean in the system, the results of LinkedIn’s recommendations are often spooky in their accuracy.

So, I was really surprised to find a recommendation to connect with my old buddy “Jack Mehoff — Owner, internet porn for the blind.” Jack is a social animal with a grand total of 0 network connections, and he’s always boasting about the wild times he had at Armstrong University.

WTF? How is this a recommendation for me? Did LinkedIn get hacked? Is anyone else seeing this?
