I didn’t find anything in bug reports about this, only topics about nerfing. Overkill on Linecracker does not work as intended. No other creature with overkill triggers it when it being attacked. And overkill’s description states “Deal excess damage on your turn for a bonus”. This is clearly a bug. So please either fix this one creature’s mechanic, or change overkill’s description and make it work the same way for all other creatures.
not a bug. overkill is a keyword that does not work with attack at all. it works when a card with overkill (creature or spell, doesn’t matter) deals ANY damage in ANY situation on your turn and that damage exceeds the health of the character that was damaged. the card does not have to attack to deal that damage. this can happen in many situations

Are you absolutely sure about this?
Linecracker does not trigger its overkill when attacked during your opponent’s turn.
If you encountered a bug, you’ll need to provide additional information of how to reproduce the issue
It does, however, correctly trigger when attacked during your turn, as any other overkill minion
