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
Your mail address is only stored in the database, to which no-one but me has access, and it shows in your Settings page when logged in. So unless there’s a security flaw in Lemmy, your mail address should be safe.
