🤔: Interesting petty common internet privacy issues that seems harmless but can be broadly associated with identifying theft. Good thing there’re fixes for it though. Here’s a very minor not serious at all personal experience had had of recent.

So in the spirit of getting active on my so dormant Linkindin Account, I logged in just to keep it running. Decided to add a secondary mail on it and boom!, to my surprise someone had already used said secondary email for their own self on LinkedIn. This someone in question is definitely not me for sure so curiously I attempt to login to said Linkedin with the secondary mail to gain access to it. Since I had full access to the Secondary mail in question, I hit right on the forgotten password got a reset code, reset a new password and gain access to the Linkedin. That wasn’t my name on it with very little personal details of the person attached to it.

Luckily the user haven’t done anything but simply just use my email to open an account for himself and left it at that. So I opt to delete the Account after taking screenshots of the details and called it a day. Then proceed to add said email as my secondary mail to my own Account as intended. Issue solved, life goes on.
