Zendesk Email Spam

20•Philpax•1h ago
Looks like there's another round of Zendesk email spam happening. I've gotten hundreds over the last half-hour.

Yeah same here, specifically on my (public) GitHub email address

I've got four emails, and I've no idea what’s going on. (I have a public email address on GitHub)

I'm getting emails titled "Activate account for ...", and addressed to random names of web services at my domain (e.g. reddit@example.org). Also Twitch-related names like pog, kekw and xqc.

Also super annoying are crypto scams sent from an Italian ISP's (tiscali.it, shame on you) email service, even though I tried to contact the ISP, but that's unrelated to this.

Yep, same here, with those exact prefixes...

If your email service supports Sieve scripts (for example, Fastmail or Proton Mail), you can use this filter [1] that I made. It's very aggressive and will block all emails that originate from Zendesk, so you'll need to disable it whenever you're actually expecting mail from Zendesk.

Same. I've gotten over 30 I think.
