The best action to take is to remove all extensions linked to your account(s). What this means for recruiters: If you’re using an extension, you’re likely breaking the company’s T&Cs, and your account is at risk of suspension.

“In order to protect our members’ data and our website, we don’t permit the use of any third-party software, including “crawlers”, bots, browser plug-ins, or browser extensions (also called “add-ons”), that scrapes, modifies the appearance of, or automates activity on LinkedIn’s website.” Here is an extract from LinkedIn’s help section on the use of third-party and extensions: LinkedIn will restrict or suspend your account if they receive an abnormally high number of page requests from your profile. One example of this is excessive page requests. While this sounds great in theory, using this kind of application violates the LinkedIn user agreement and puts your account at risk for suspension.
