I Lost Access to My Hacked LinkedIn Account After Recovery and Password Reset

I'm incredibly frustrated with how LinkedIn is handling my account situation. My account was hacked, and after noticing suspicious activity, I managed to log back in using my Apple ID. I immediately changed the password to secure the account. But shortly after that, LinkedIn flagged the account as "suspicious" and completely locked me out.

Now I can’t access the account I’ve been using for over 15 years—an account that holds all my professional history, connections, and achievements. I’ve tried everything to get in touch with LinkedIn, but there’s no clear platform or way to speak to a real person for support.

This is unacceptable. I recovered the account on my own, only to be punished and locked out again. I didn’t do anything wrong—yet I'm the one facing the consequences of a hack I had nothing to do with.

LinkedIn, I need immediate access restored to my account. You must provide a direct support option and help longtime users like me who are being blocked unfairly. This needs to be resolved now.
