Just tell them it's confidential.
Internally, sharing your salary with co-workers is federally protected speech. You could argue to a recruiter that your salary exposed publicly is sharing trade secrets.

Even federally arguing that current salary is a trade secret is a legal gray area.
Thank you for that citation! I'm in Illinois at the moment, but California is more relevant for an HN discussion.
Keepin mind that the actual protections here are relatively weak.
Are you saying you have no recourse if you're fired for sharing your salary information?
