Thank you for your kind words and support. It appears that activity on the platform, namely VPN use which I use in security testing, along with my reports to abuse contacts, triggered an alarm. It appears to have been a perferct storm of behavior and after speaking to colleagues and determining contacts, this was easily resolved within hours. Per Linkedin, VPN use is not against the terms of service, but networking in certain patterns can be and though my suspension was a false positive, it was harrowing. I retained access to my account, and all is well, but it was a concerning experience.
