Got 500+ emails in few mins from Airbnb
I reset my password for an old account on Airbnb, server error-ed in HTTP 405 error. After that I could login to Airbnb. But on my email, started getting 100+ emails and currently the number is 500+. Airbnb is seriously getting hacked.

- BMorearty 9y agoI'm an eng at Airbnb. What is the subject line of these emails? Can you DM me your userid at BMorearty on Twitter?
- kaustubhvp 9y agocool. messaged you on twitter.
- BMorearty 9y agoFollowing up on this: there have been hundreds of incidents of attempted fraudulent access to this user's account. All were successfully blocked by our security systems, which worked as designed. But we had a bug that sent him a bunch of emails today (one per prior blocked attempt) when he changed his password. That bug is now fixed.
- atmosx 9y agoIt's great to see someone from Airbnb jump in on this so fast. Congrats.
