My LinkedIn account hacked

Hello @support. Someone maliciously stole my LinkedIn password and logged into my account and changed the initials and added the authenticator app as a way of granting access to my account.

Whenever i try changing my password, i am prompted to enter the authenticator app code which the hacker is in control of. Kindly help me get my account back.

  • - I can't sign in after resetting my password and failing ID verification (twice).
  • - No customer service; chat and ticket support require an account.
Original review updated Nov 25, 2025

Earlier this year I decided I wanted to update my LinkedIn profile. I hadn't been on LinkedIn in a while.

I tried signing in, but I had forgotten the password. No problem, I just needed to reset it and make a new one. When I reset my password, it still wouldn't let me in, and I needed to do an ID verification. Ok fine, I did the ID verification twice, which took them forever, and I still got rejected both times even after using my passport as one of the IDs.

And the worst part about this is that they have absolutely zero customer service. No hotline, *** FAQs, and the only way I can access their chatbot is by having an account.

They also have a ticket complaint system, which also requires a *** account. Now I lose all my old connections because linkedins *** ID verification system

Pros:
  • Networking
  • Proffesional
Cons:
  • Horrendous customer service

Preferred solution: MY *** ACCOUNT BACK

User's recommendation: don’t be surprised if they lock you out of your account

LinkedIn - Subscribed issue

Dear LinkedIn Support,

My name is Kabir Ibrahim, and my account is registered under the email address bigbros2004****@***.co.uk.

Today, I noticed an unwanted subscription charge of $645.58 on my account. I did not authorize or intend to make this purchase.

This charge appears to have been applied without my consent, and I would like to request an immediate full refund.

Kindly investigate this matter urgently and reverse the transaction to my original payment method. Please also ensure that any associated subscription is canceled to prevent future charges.

I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this matter.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Kabir Ibrahim

It's over three months now, and yet I can't access my account after a restriction. I've been completing all the puzzles, and I put in the password and email.

They do not let me in. I try every day, and they suspend my account. I put my Nation ID, and still, nothing. I try to contact you, and still, the same.

What can I do about this app? My account detail is jacklinusotiato2@***.com

LINKEDIN EMPLOYEES HARASSING ME

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Sep 04, 2025

LINKEDIN is a horrible communist monopolistic "corporation" All the competition in this sector is destroyed - there are no real alternatives for Linkedin - Linkedin needs to be held accountable for the info they are stealing and the problems Linkedin itself is causing with it's own account holders

Updated by user Aug 29, 2025

LINKED EMPLOYEES CONSTANTLY STILL LIE AND DO NOT HELP - ALL THE NAMES ON THE AUTOMATED REPLIES ARE PAKISTAN OR INDIA TYPE NAMES AND THEY ACT BRUTALLY TOWARDS AMERICANS

Original review Aug 18, 2025
Please stop LinkedIn employees from harassing me.
To date, all responses from LinkedIn have either been automated messages or LinkedIn employees lying and harassing me.
- My name is Howard Cornell. I went to City College San Francisco and was in the City College of San Francisco LinkedIn group before I started being harassed by LinkedIn employees.
- The LinkedIn employees have been stalking me, abusing my account, abusing me, and now trying to gain access to documentation in which the LinkedIn employees can perpetrate even worse crimes.

LinkedIn employees absolutely cannot be trusted with sensitive documentation in which they can perpetrate fraud. - I have caught LinkedIn employees abusing my account and lying many times.
- This started when I was harassed by LinkedIn employees or LinkedIn's automated system followed up by LinkedIn employees in Oct 2023 when I simply tried to update my email address to my new email address XXX@***.com.
- LinkedIn has been sending me all my LinkedIn notifications to my correct email address XXX@***.com since approximately May 2023 up to May 2025 when again LinkedIn employees started abusing me and harassing me.
--- It started by my either clicking a wrong button or simple evil conduct on LinkedIn's side. It changed my password without my knowledge or consent on May 27/28.
- Below is the copy of the date in which they sent the notification of the password change to my correct email address that has been on the account since around Oct 2023 XXX@***.com.
- Please put back my password so that I can log into my account.
- The LinkedIn employees mocked me and were no help.
- There is no legitimate reason I should have to supply government-issued documents of which people - the very same LinkedIn employees that have caused nothing but distress and harassment to me - can then use, abuse, and misuse the same and worse as what LinkedIn employees are doing to me personally right now.
- I have tried to reset the account password to solve this situation.
- It gives me some small 'puzzle' then says it's sending me a code, but the code never comes.

One of the LinkedIn employees wrote me and said you or your automated system put back or never correctly changed from my old email address @***.com, which I was told that apparently the 'code' I get after I 'successfully' complete the 'puzzle' sends the code to the wrong email address.
- Please stop this insanity and put back my password that was changed by an automated system or LinkedIn employee without my knowledge or consent.
- This is a copy of the 'change of password' that was done to my account by LinkedIn's automated system or a LinkedIn employee.
LinkedIn

To XXX@***.com
Howard, your password was successfully reset.
I have been asking LinkedIn since May to please stop harassing me and they keep changing their story constantly. They are constantly victimizing me and nobody will help.
Sincerely, Howard Cornell.
Loss:
$100000
Pros:
  • There are no pros linkedin has monopolized this sector
Cons:
  • Inhumane employees - causing 1 million dollars in stress

Preferred solution: PUT MY PASSWORD BACK OR REPAIR THE SYSTEM TO LET ME LOG IN LIKE IT HAS BEEN FOR MANY YEARS BEFORE LINKED EMPLOYEES STARTED DINKING AROUND WITH IT - LINKEDIN EMPLOYEES HAVE CAUSED 1 MILLION DOLLARS OF STRESS IN 1 INSTANCE ALONE

User's recommendation: SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO STOP LINKEDIN HARRASSING PEOPLE

Recover or delete my account

Dear support,

Since I found no other option where to address my situation, I used this site and form for my little issue. Thank you in advance for forwarding this message.

I changed my phone back in summer and have since then no access to my own account.

Everytime I go through the email verification, receiving and passing the correct code, I am being forced to provide more data like my personal id.

Please do me the favor and let me proceed having my old business account, without the necessity to provide any further personal data.

I think redoing 20 times the email verification and receiving this message is in itself a verification enough.

There seem to be other ways to recover my account, but none of it works out for me.

-Through an Affidavit of Identity.

-Through a work email address. (don't work there anymore)

Thanks in advance.
