One day I was randomly permanently banned because a hacker starred some of my public repos from hacked accounts (only ~6 stars btw). I had no involvement whatsoever, it was likely an attempt by the hacker to dilute the target of the repos they were trying to star. It took me ~2 weeks to appeal and they still blamed me for hacking even though the IPs of those accounts were different. My ban was eventually lifted but I doubt their system works nearly as well as it should.
