My LinkedIn Account Was Compromised!
My LinkedIn account has been compromised by unauthorized individuals, and despite having two-factor authentication enabled, I haven't received any notifications. Moreover, the person who took over my account removed the existing two-factor authentication and added an authenticator app, preventing me from resetting my password through my email. I've been trying to fill out various ticket forms on the LinkedIn website since morning, but I haven't received any response. Please find a solution as soon as possible. If I had faced a similar issue with another company, it would have already been resolved. Currently, as I am in a different country and unable to add my foreign number to my account, I am expecting you to reach out to me here.
There has still been no response, and today my account's name was changed and a photo of a Chinese woman was added. Additionally, LinkedIn notifications are coming to my email in Chinese, and notifications about strange people being added are coming through. My new profession has been set as plastic surgery; let's see what else I will encounter.
I think my email address has also been changed, so I'm not receiving notifications anymore.
My new LinkedIn account, which I opened to report my main account, has been frozen, but my old account, with a new name, profile picture, and a bunch of false information, keeps adding people non-stop 😂😂 I have never seen such nonsense. After doing some research, I also found out that an incredible number of accounts have been hacked on the site in the last three months. Let's see what happens, I'm watching.
I'm on the 9th day and still no response. I see on foreign forums that there have been a lot of breached accounts on the site for the past three months. I've also written on Twitter multiple times, and it's very interesting that such a widely used platform offers such a poor customer experience. I hope the other competitors become more popular soon so I don't have to deal with this much hassle again. It seriously annoyed me, and I will keep writing until I get that account back.
