LinkedIn is probably not the culprit.
I locked down my shit and was still having recruiters contact me with old info so I started asking the recruiters where they were getting my info from.
They bought it, from little shitty bump in the night data brokers who were reselling old LinkedIn data dumps. Which explained why many of them had old info on me.
I have been going after my profile on many of these brokers. Generally with success but in many cases it meant having the lawyer send them a nastygram.
I also explained to the recruiters the data they were buying was old linkedin data. Hopefully that also screwed over some of the brokers.
