Anyone else getting inundated today with "Active your account" emails, for various different services and email addresses, but all coming from Zendesk software?

I always the assume the email addresses are compromised, but guessing someone found a hole in Zendesk too.

@davidwengier Yeah, I had this a few weeks ago. Moving to per-service email addresses a couple of years ago paid off.

I changed the email address attached to Discord, and just set the email address to bounce.

@grissallia I have per-service addresses too. It's a bit of fun to see which ones come in
