If the authenticator was set by the hacker, you’ll need to contact LinkedIn Support directly. Explain the situation and provide proof of identity (ID, email ownership, etc.). They can reset 2FA for you. Regular verification won’t work once the hacker controls the authenticator.
Oops, that means your email address isn't safe either. I suggest that you use a secure email address to re-establish your account during the same period. Even if you cannot retrieve it, you can merge the original account with your identity information without any loss.
