🔔 Heads-up: There is currently a #phishing campaign targeting #Codeberg users.
If you receive a notification that insults you and your project for poor code quality, combined with an offer to "fix" the problems when you send some money, please ignore and report to us: Mention "@moderation" in response to the issue or forward the email to abuse@codeberg.org.
We are trying to stay ahead of the noise before the notifications are sent.

Als Antwort auf Codeberg.org • • •If you receive in-app notifications which lead to 404 pages or threads that don't contain new messages, it is also likely that they have been cleaned up.
Unfortunately, it is currently very difficult to also remove the notifications when deleting spam users.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Hint: If "security researchers" or "computer experts" link to an http-only website, you can almost always consider it a scam.
EDIT FOR CLARITY: The spammer is impersonating a researcher to smear them.

Als Antwort auf Captain Ventilation • • •You're right. We were already aware of this, but I can see how the messaging was not clear. ("security researcher" being perceived as sarcasm towards the person being smeared, when it was actually referring to the spammer)
I edited the post so as to make this more clear. ~n

I do that also, but not so much.
I'm also white and American...I pass all the RW crush bullet points. Probably a KKK person out there somewhere masturbating to secret photos of me in the nude. I hope it makes him sufficiently angry.
I replaced JavaScript with C++ in my mind (since that is what I do) and the whole thing just becomes hilarious.
So much to digest here 😛

I wanted to send an email, but issue was deleted by the time I found the links. Thanks for the quick reaction!

Als Antwort auf Codeberg.org • • •Insulting my code and asking money to fix it must be the most stupid scamming scheme on the planet.🤣 🤦♀️
Anyway thanks for the warning.

Als Antwort auf Codeberg.org • • •We have received one of these issues but it was deleted, likely by your moderation team.
We believe that this _has_ to be a bot or something. As @be said, it seemed that they were subject to another impersonation attempt on GitHub. Also, the latest @gperson saw (hi again) was on your CI feedback repo which...doesn't contain any code.

Als Antwort auf Tenacity Audio Editor • • •@tenacity @be @gperson Yup, the spammer is indeed impersonating a security researcher so as to smear them. We corrected the following post for clarity: social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg/1…
