Hi all,
Like many people I’m new to Lemmy. Enjoying it so far.
Has anyone else noticed an increase in email phishing spam after signing up? Or is it merely a coincidence?
I stupidly used my main email and have gone from zero phishing and a few spam. In the 48 hours after signing up I’m getting 6-8 phishing emails a day…again could be a coincidence but would love to hear if any of the new sign ups have had a similar experience
Could be a coincidence IMO otherwise that would mean that there was a breach at lemmy.world where you signed up. Tagging @ruud@lemmy.world.
I signed up with an email address dedicated only to this account 8 days ago and so far it has received nothing except the 2 verification emails (the one where you’re prompted to click a verification link, and the subsequent email confirming your verification), my spam folder is completely empty.
Same as you, I signed with a lemmy dedicated email address. No spam on it so far !
