I woke up to these emails and when I tried to login, I saw that I was logged out of the LinkedIn app on my phone.
I noticed that a new Hotmail email and a US phone number were added to my account and the password was reset.
I don’t know what my account would have been used for in the last few hours because I don’t see any posts or messages from my account once I regained access.
Few things I did right away
- Double-checked the email addresses and phone numbers linked to my Linkedin account in settings.
- Reset my LinkedIn and email passwords.
- Added 2 factor authentication to all my email accounts. (Something I’ve been delaying for a while on a few accounts)
Anything else I need to do to keep the accounts secure?
And I’d highly recommend checking the emails and phone numbers linked to your Linkedin account every once in a while!
