It was definitely not phishing -- I had a friend of mine who works for Meta reach out to the specific recruiter internally and ask them to not do that. They apologized, but a few months later a different recruiter reached out to the same work email.

They have my personal email, because they send recruitment spam to that one too.

Are you sure it's not in LinkedIn system? That's where a lot of recruiters buy data from.
Just verified it's not in any of my LinkedIn settings, also no other company has ever reached out via that employer email, only Meta, so it seems like Meta is the only one who knows about it (or is the only one who uses it, which seems unlikely).
