Launchpad itself

Spammers collect email addresses on Launchpad.

Asked by Valentin Lorentz

Hi,

I have an email address I use _only_ on Launchpad, and a spammer has send multiple emails to it.

As email addresses are only visible by Launchpad users, it means this spammer has an account used by his bots to collect email addresses.

Could you set up something to find and delete accounts that browse lots of user profiles?

Regards,
Valentin

if you don't want Launchpad users to see your address even when logged in, youcan change it on https://launchpad.net/~/+edit. You can then select "Hide my email addresses from other Launchpad users" option which means only Launchpad admins may be able to see it.

Can you help with this problem?
