"LinkedIn Unveils New Security Features to Tackle Fraud"

Social media company LinkedIn has recently introduced a series of new features aimed at fighting fake profiles and malicious use of the platform.  The company introduced three new security-focused capabilities.  The first one, called "About this profile," shows users when a profile was created and last updated.  It also flags whether the member has verified a phone number and work email associated with their account.  The second feature uses an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered deep learning model made with AI-based synthetic image generation technology to better catch fake accounts with photos.  LinkedIn noted that the model reportedly increases the effectiveness of their automated anti-abuse defenses to help detect and remove fake accounts before they have a chance to reach members.  Finally, the social media platform is adding a warning to some LinkedIn messages that include high-risk content potentially impacting security.  These include messages asking users to take the conversation to another platform.  Users will be able to flag these messages to LinkedIn without the sender knowing.
