I, had a recent security issue, that was fixed. So then I made some DEV posts for it, then I also complained about AI saying I'm a "threat actor" and all those stuff even though I fixed the issue.

So now, apparently, Gemini keeps saying that I am on LinkedIn. Which I know is not true because I don't have a LinkedIn, so I had to investigate why the AI was thinking I have a LinkedIn.

Then, I found a LinkedIn page labeled **"Vetted Security Findings Trump AI Submissions"** which sounds suspicious, that's what Gemini fetched.

Then, I went on the page and scrolled down, and I found a LinkedIn user called **"GyaanSetu AI (Artificial Intelligence)"** and I'm also seeing **"my package, @bananacool467/ui-tools"** and I was like "huh?", so I clicked the post.

Then I am seeing it says "I", "my" and "me", not "an NPM developer" as if that account owns my accounts when it doesn't.

Then the footer of the post shows:

But, I don't have an LinkedIn, so I checked the first link it provided, and apparently, **it redirects to my DEV post**

The "Source" link just redirects to the OSV vulnerability page for MAL-2026-13416

I couldn't report the post because I literally don't have a LinkedIn and I don't wanna create a LinkedIn.
