Is Next Level Networking Community safe?
Next Level Networking Community sends the URL of every non-LinkedIn page you load to mymosttrusted.net.
When any tab finishes loading a page outside LinkedIn, the background worker posts that page's full URL to the vendor's detect-link endpoint, along with your profile id. This happens on all websites, regardless of the extension's LinkedIn-focused purpose or its hide toggle.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Next Level Networking Community contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
