A Malwarebytes blog post describes a LinkedIn comment-reply phishing campaign in which fake profiles claim accounts are "temporarily restricted" and post shortened or malicious links that lead to credential-stealing phishing pages; investigators observed automated account creation and blocked an IP (103.224.182.251). The report includes screenshots, examples of abused shortened links, mitigation guidance (avoid clicking links, log in directly, use password managers and web protection), and encourages reporting suspicious content.
