Ask HN: Uptick in spam based on GitHub activity
16 by jamil7 | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Has anyone else seen a recent uptick in unsolicited email based on GitHub starring activity? There was a post recently here about Browserless doing this and I recently was added to some marketing list with no unsubscribe link from a local crypto startup which mentioned a repo I'd starred that wasn't even there's. Is this some new growth hacking thing people have been told to do? What can we do to prevent this?
