Like, do they not worry about people just editing everything and inserting porn or something? I doubt that they were smart enough to use branch protection. To be fair, when you're sending a mass spam campaign, you already don't worry about your reputation anyway lol

Fun fact: I’m the reason people have to approve being added as collaborators for repos on GitHub now.

spambot has invited you to collaborate on we-had-a-baby-its-a-boy

I once had a spambot @ me and like 100 other people I didn't know on a repo I'd never touched before.

I reported it for spam and got an email from Github Support within an hour notifying me that they had taken action.

I remember that time some guy pinged nearly 40k people and single-handedly delayed GitHub's email servers by about 4.18 hours
