Automated Spam Campaign Floods GitHub/NPM with 1000s of Garbage Packages
- beretguy 2y agoSo, GitHub is preventing me from creating an account with “@simplelogin.com” domain to supposedly protect themselves from spam/abuse/“something something security” and forces me through captchas and when I finally create an account somehow they close my account without a reason but… apparently it doesn’t work! Why make my life difficult then? I tried to create an account to sync my vscode settings. After about half an hour trying to create an account without some not “big tech” email provider I finally succeed, but they delete my account the next day for no good reason. Now I just manually set settings on my different computers and manually copy over changes when I need. Microsoft can take a hike. I don’t need your sync. I’ll find a way around.
- trallnag 2y agoWould it help getting your own domain and using that for email as well?
