I get a dozen emails a day now, starting a couple of weeks ago, from, for example: "[whosumdotcom/srchmdonauthorposts] Updating mdon/authorlatest/@gottalaff@mastodon.social.json" How do I stop these? I keep unsubscribing, nothing happens. I don't even understand what this is. But it has to stop. |

Thank you.
I managed to find a way to unsubscribe and ignore. I don't know my way
around this site, nor understand why I'm part of it, but I did solve the
problem at my end only.
Thanks again.

We would like to bring to our users’ attention to the following:
- Please do not click any links or reply to these notifications.
Please report them

- Authorizing an OAuth app
<https://docs.github.com/en/apps/oauth-apps/using-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps>
can expose your GitHub account and data to a third party.
- GitHub’s recruitment process would never mention its users via
issues/PRs or other public content.
- GitHub recommends you periodically review your authorized OAuth apps
<https://docs.github.com/en/apps/oauth-apps/using-oauth-apps/reviewing-your-authorized-oauth-apps>
.
This spam activity targets and abuses GitHub’s mention and
notification functionality.
- This is a phishing campaign and is not the result of a compromise of
GitHub or its systems.
