Title: I had a bad service experience with a bank employee last week who acted in what can best be described as a slightly deranged way; I was disturbed to receive an email from LinkedIn this week stating that someone from the same bank had searched for me (and presumably viewed my profile anonymously).<p>I decided to have a look at my profile from that of my spouse (we aren&#x27;t connections and they don&#x27;t really use LinkedIn) and I was shocked to see lots of detail fully exposed, despite me setting privacy settings at the maximum.<p>Unlike Facebook, which has had the ability to lock your profile down for years, LinkedIn still exposes most of your details to potential stalkers. Even Twitter&#x2F;X has the ability to make your profile private (although who knows how long that will last).<p>I&#x27;m sure most people on HN are aware of this, but  if you&#x27;re in danger of being stalked, and you&#x27;ve locked your socials down, you&#x27;re still at high risk because your LinkedIn profile is wide open to anyone with an email address who registers on the site.
