New submission from Jörn Hees <nrej9...@joernhees.de>: On every platform that i create an account on, i use a new randomized email address. This allows me to track which platforms sell my account info to spammers.
The one i used for bugs.python.org now receives astonishing amounts of spam (mostly bitcoin spam atm). I hope you don't sell the account information of your contributors to third parties, but instead believe in a design flaw of your bug tracking system and some way that spammers can currently harvest the email addresses of all of your contributors. Please investigate how this is possible and ways to protect your user's data. ---------- components: email messages: 307280 nosy: barry, joern, r.david.murray priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: spammers mine emails from bugs.python.org type: security _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32177> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
