spam mail

Hi all,

Like many people I'm new to Lemmy. Enjoying it so far.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in email phishing spam after signing up? Or is it merely a coincidence?

I stupidly used my main email and have gone from zero phishing and a few spam. In the 48 hours after signing up I'm getting 6-8 phishing emails a day....again could be a coincidence but would love to hear if any of the new sign ups have had a similar experience
