Hey GitHub Community,

I wanted to flag a potential phishing attempt that’s circulating and appears to come from the GitHub notifications email. The message references a "Paradigm Announcement | $80M GitHub & Paradigm PD25 [Closed pre-registration]" and is formatted to look like a legitimate issue notification from a bot named automailerco[bot].

There are quite a lot discussion about Gitcoin problem, I also received this one a few days ago. But I got new scamming message. I want to raise awareness for new phising content and hoping for a quick action on all these kind of alerts.

I got this also. Looks fake thank you for your post.

Bumping this, got one as well. Looks pretty bad, miss-spelled "notificatons" in the subject line.

Also looks like it contains a bunch of Github links that go no where.

Got something similar, but not with an obvious phishing attempt. I received an email about a notification in GitHub referencing the repo paradigm-feed/paradigm.

However, when I try to click the repo see the notification, everythin remains empty and the repo seems not to exist. Maybe something similar ...

Edit: Found the solution here: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/177184 That worked for me using Google Chrome. The fake notification with paradigm-feed seems to be another issue, not related to the original topic here.

Same with paradigm-dev/paradigm. How to delete this notification?
