For many years the only spam and phishing emails I got were those sent to the unique address I used to register on LinkedIn.
- 0x0 13y agoThe same, and my custom email even included 'linkedin' as a substring, so no doubt about it. Also I was seeing web crawler bots hitting URLs that were hidden behind a "contacts only" privacy limit.
