LinkedIn Suspicious Activity

Being a fan of LinkedIn I am frequently checking who’s viewing my profile. Approximately half a year ago I have noticed weird activity out there. My profile is being viewed by numerous “Accounting Professionals” with 0 connections. I have a feeling that someone not affiliated with LinkedIn is gathering account information and account updates.

UPDATE (2011-06-16): Wow, they listened. ;) Half of those profiles now shows as Anonymous LinkedIn User. They have changed thir privacy settings.

To whom it may concern: If you are scanning through LinkedIn profiles it makes sence to use only one account for that. Otherwise it shows ugly in Profile Stats.

Please comment if you experience the same activity or have any additional information.

Here is the list of suspicious accounts hitting my profile for the last three month:
