Compromised LinkedIn account. anything to do?
Last night I got a stream of emails from LinkedIn.
* here's your PIN XYZXYZ
* your password was successfully reset
* here's your PIN XYZXYZ
* Robert, a new email address was added to your account
The new email is a hotmail account that is not mine.
I reported it via some LinkedIn tool but I'm concerned that will get discarded by a robot. Is there anything to do?
Also, https://linkedin.com/in/robertkarl/ is no longer me.

- robertkarljr 2y agocolor me surprised but LinkedIn made this super easy and convenient. A couple hours later and they resolved it. (I should note I use a password manager; never reuse passwords; usually have 2-fac enabled but did not for LinkedIn. Now I do....)
