Hi, I signed in today at 'Try Sage Online' and the first notebook was
called 'Sagemath owned', the field 'Owner, collaborations' was
'mathfux99 / *Mayra7*, 000Devin, 01sharpka, 0617, 091002107, ...', and
the notebook was published.

This was obviously not done by me, I doubt that someone got access to
my account due to a 'mistake' I made, since I only use linux, my
passwords are strong and the message suggests that the server was
attacked.

Should I worry about this?

it looks like someone may have just shared their worksheet with everyone
on the sage server.  You don't need to worry about this; nothing was
compromised.

However, it does highlight that we probably don't want any user being
able to arbitrarily share a worksheet with any other arbitrary user.  It
would be better if the recipient was asked if they wanted the shared
worksheet.

Thanks,

Jason

It appears that if someone shares a worksheet with you, you cannot
delete it from your list.

Yes, you're right. That's something we should also implement. Perhaps for everyone except the owner, that Share Now link could say Unshare, and unshare the document from you.


At least I wasn't able to.
What does 'Sage Owned' mean?


I think the user was trying to pretend that Sage was being compromised; that would be a typical thing to say, as in "I owned the system".

On the other hand, the original worksheet showed what I think the user thought was an error in Sage, so maybe the phrase was referring to what they thought was a failing in Sage. If there really was a failing in Sage, I hope they post here. It's much more mature to ask here than to spam everyone on the sage server.

Thanks,

Jason
