The email address I give out doesn’t exist, but whenever sends me an email to an address that doesn’t exist it gets forwarded via the back-end of my email server to my actual email inbox. So I receive emails sent to those addresses, and the email I receive has the non-existent email address in the “To” field.
Oh, so it’s like you create an email on the fly and it forwards it to your actual email
that’s related to the industry I work in. LinkedIn aren’t supposed to be giving this email out, and yet people get it somehow.
when was the last time you used LinkedIn?, it has suffered a data breach ( I mean it does all the time ) but the last breach that I remember which happened not so long ago, caused 92 ℅ people’s data to get leaked

Exactly! Except it’s not a regular forward, there isn’t a send action, it’s just moved into my email inbox.

A month or two ago. I’m sure my data has been breached a few times. However, that doesn’t exactly absolve them - I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the “breaches” were in fact commercial agreements, when it comes to them.
LinkedIn have always been scummy, since their inception. Their original trick was to get you to provide your email login details, then they would log in to your email and spam all your contacts telling them to join. That was literally how they established themselves in the market. This was back in the MSN chat days.
