Urgent Request for Community Assistance - Hacked GitHub Account and Flagged #109644
-
NOTE: I am raising this discussion on my friend's flagged GitHub account. I hope this message finds you well. On Wednesday, I faced a distressing situation involving my GitHub account (https://github.com/WayneMusungu), which was hacked and subsequently flagged. During this unauthorized access, two repositories were created and pushed to my account under the names "backup29d8b7f9-0562-45c3-a3d8-29e835a0a467" and "backupc061fd12-0a4d-480b-b3a0-41994af140b2." To make matters worse, a message was left, stating: "I hope this message finds you well. This is an urgent notice to inform you that your data has been compromised, and we have secured a backup with this link https://telegra.ph/URGENT-NOTICE-02-01." Additionally, my account and projects are no longer publicly visible, and some repositories have been deleted. The incident occurred after clicking on a spam recruiting email, leading to the compromise of my account. I am reaching out to the community for prompt assistance in resolving this matter. Your support and guidance would be highly appreciated. I raised the issue and here is the ticket number Ticket 2615299. @queenofcorgis , @davecheney, and @canuckjacq could you assist me with this? Regards, |
