Alexandre Blanc Cyber Kicked out from Linkedin

Edit on 2024 June 8th, Saturday, after the involvement and support worldwide, and a pressure from an incredible amount of people, LinkedIn restored my account. They claimed I got banned because I shared a malicious link (this one : Owasp AI and Security Guide ). This is why they deleted me. And then, they claim that after verification, the link was finally not malicious.

As you can guess, it’s a power game, and they wanted to slap me for something they didn’t like. But the power of communities has been stronger. That’s my take. I can’t express how thankful I am for all the support. Love to you all. Will take a few days to get back on track fully.

Edit on Friday night, after finding a great article linked in the comment
(and here) , lately, as I started my own business, I also started to add many connections and sent a lot of requests. The linked article about LinkedIn account restriction explains that adding too many « unknown » people, will lead to this. So, it seems that looking to expand my network, actually killed my network.
Will edit the post if things move, but I think this is it. Too many connection requests sent. (about 30 I’d say)

So, hopefully you’ll learn from this, don’t fuck it up as I just did.

So I got this email, and got blocked on all my devices. I vanished from the platform, my cyber buddies told me they can’t find me anymore.

I obviously had verified ID, MFA, and all available option for security. At this point, when I try to login, I got the following message :

Which is interesting, because I don’t know what this is referring to, and this is not aligned with the email stating « fraudulent activity detected ». Well, I’m known to fight AGAINST fraud. So, that’s about it.

That’s the cloud, after all, I rant a lot about it, you own nothing, you control nothing, well, here is a plain example. No information, no way to know or recover.

I contacted support via the form 2 times, but nothing there. I’ll wait a bit, and then reach out to insiders.

Fun times ! This happened around noon on 2024 May 30th, so far no news. I guess lunch time :D
