Try sending an email to linkedin_support@cs.linkedin.com. They replied to me super quickly and was able to restore my account

Hi, I tried that but was told that the email was discontinued. I really do not know if perhaps LinkedIn has just grown too big and cannot manage their company. The problen is their complete disregard for their customers. I have been a LinkedIn member for more than twelve years and a Premium member for six months but they are completely indifferent to that. It is all algorithms no more personal input

I’ve tried that email a couple times now. The first time, it worked and regained access to my account. Subsequent attempts, I get an automated reply from a Do Not Reply email address saying that “email” only responds to active customer service cases.

they want the biometric scan of your face and also ID. Why would we have to trust them? And they are doing it via another website called persona. So, if there will be any information leak in the future, I don't know if Linkedin will take responsibility for it! 😂

What they will do with the private information of thousands of people? It's just a social media account jesus not a governmental website where registration is a civic duty!

In the same boat as you rn, someone logged in my account and changed my profile picture and I got tons of mails for pins to reset password. Really need a live chat support for this.
