Being present in the corporate world, you must’ve heard about “LinkedIn” a few times by now. 

The continuous usage of LinkedIn will inevitably draw you to the question ‘What is LinkedIn and why do people use it?’

LinkedIn is a place for professionals who can keep their work-related matters away from social media sites such as Facebook or Twitter. Although LinkedIn has amassed popularity people are still oblivious to its use and the benefits it offers.

People who take LinkedIn very seriously tend to upgrade their normal account to premium to gain access to a plethora of amazing features but due to a certain reason, one may wish to deactivate their premium subscription. Hackers can gain access to your personal details mentioned on your LinkedIn account to use for their benefit which may harm you in the long run and this may deter some users from continuing your premium subscription.

‘What should I do now?’
