LinkedIn will share your suspected phone number with recruiters even when no phone number is used (2fa/ app). Opt out in "Visibility settings" by changing "discovery via phone number" to Nobody. (www.reddit.com)

I'm curious about something. When I was job hunting a few years back, everyone and their mother kept pestering me to get a LinkedIn account. I felt like I was a crazy person, because I seemed to have been the only one who remembered or cared about the 2012 leak. Was this the case for anyone else?

everyone tries to sell me to use my dormant linkedin account at all times too.

Ah, so my experience was not an isolated case. Thanks for confirming!
