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
I used an email address that would tell me where the spam is coming from to sign up for Lemmy. None of my spam email is coming with that email address so I don’t think I’m getting spam from Lemmy sold emails… I have noticed more phishing emails but I think it’s just Gmail letting them through or being more targeted.
