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

You’ll most likely find me on LinkedIn

Yet, I maintain my own server and blog here, because it allows me to own my content as well.

Anyways, to find me on LinkedIn, it’s here : https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandre-blanc-cyber-security-88569022/

I use the domain inforeseau.com as my email domain as well, for my blog and other activities. It used to be the domain of my company in the early 2000s, and I kept it since then.

I did start my business as « Alexandre Blanc Cyber« , in cyber security and LinkedIn consulting services.

Basically splitting my time between security advisory and assessments, and consulting on LinkedIn success management.

I have a few slots for LinkedIn consulting, including LinkedIn page management, and acting as influencer etc. Obviously, this is a limited amount of slots as I commit to deliver value for my customers, but also keep time for the cyber security side of things. Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn or via email at alexandre at inforeseau.com

The Russian roulette landing page !

Well, if you ended on here, either some search engine indexed it (they really have nothing to do !), and then, fine, BUT MOST LIKELY, YOU SCANNED MY EVIL QR CODE !! Moouahahahahahahahahah

Well, you should never scan a QR code not knowing exactly where it takes you, and obviously, you can’t know, so never scan QR code. They can embed malware and poison your device just by scanning it.

Then all your data is stolen, and I bet you use the same device to access your bank account so it would be corrupted as well, not even speaking about these photos you recently sent…. no… not this one… you know exactly the one I speak about !

So, stop scanning QR codes and follow me on linkedin ! :P
