Here’s How to Recover Your Account if your Hacked on LinkedIn

This week’s Rocky Mountain Marketing Quickcast wraps up our account recovery series with one of the most overlooked (but critical) platforms: LinkedIn. You may not post there often—but your future clients, collaborators, podcast hosts, and even the media absolutely check it. And if your LinkedIn gets hacked, the damage isn’t just annoying—it’s reputation-ruining.

In under 10 minutes, I walk you through:

• What to do if your LinkedIn is hacked or compromised
• How LinkedIn’s recovery partner (Persona) actually works
• What ID you’ll need to submit—and why it’s legit
• A full post-hack checklist to secure your professional presence

Don’t wait until your reputation is at risk. This is your proactive LinkedIn playbook.
