Ask HN: Was Parse emails database leaked?
I hope this is good place to ask?
Today I got multiple spam emails with title
[test] Facebook Analytics for Apps: Create App Events
First from
eiad_rayyis@hotmail.com
Then From
miriamk@fb.com (in header)
through
potomac1050.mktomail.com
To all my parse-specific accounts (name+parse@gmail.com) - I have multiple (2..) for private and work-related things.
As those email addresses were Parse specific, I think I haven't shared them anywhere else.
Did anyone else got spammed? Searching through Google and Hacker News doesn't yield any results
Thank you for reading!
Ps. Is this good place to ask? Where else would you suggest I should direct my questions to? Ah, I'm really sorry about this. No, the database was not leaked. Someone just misconfigured the email system and accidentally sent this out to the wrong audience. I'm sorry! Thank you for update! Good to know and hopefully that makes other calmer too.
