Yesterday at some time, my LinkedIn account got hijacked. As I am typing this, it still is, and I feel like I am hitting a wall trying to get help from LinkedIn now. It initially seemed to be resolved well and fast, but, when you don't know how your account was taken over, it is sorta bound to happen again.
Yesterday night, I got my account back. I set a strong password for the account, and changed my gmail password as well, though I had not seen any suspicious activity in gmail. I could not figure out how they had gained access, so that was all I could do. Past midnight, I was so tired and had to head to bed.
