No it can't. This story keeps getting posted all over the internet.

Not only is it wrong, and not only do the researchers refuse to show their work (citing possible "misuse"), but it entirely depends on what kind of OPSEC failures the user happens to make.

If 90% of LinkedIn users are making the same OPSEC errors, then I'd say it works as advertised.
