Discussion:
Spam/scam links in bugzilla

Hello,

A few minutes ago I was notified about a post in a closed bug. It
turns out that the account that made the post has been sporadically
spamming various bugs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=user_activity.html&action=run&who=dragoelanie%40gmail.com&from=2018-01-01&to=2018-11-01&sort=when
The websites that are being linked to from these posts seem to be of
the support scam garden variety.
I did not know where to report this, hence this message.
Can someone nuke the posts or at least the hyperlinks?
Btw, bugzilla reports that there are multiple accounts with the same
name, so that might be worth looking into.

Regards,
Alex

I have forwarded this to the Bugzilla owner. Thank you for the research on this.

I've cleaned those up and closed the accounts concerned (together with
some other similar ones I found). They are defeating our existing anti-spam
protection!

If anyone spots any more, please open a ticket by emailing bugzilla-requests
@redhat.com and one of us will clean it up.

denied (in reply to RCPT TO command)
I suppose the mailbox only works on the Red Hat VPN.
The externally accessible address is bugzilla-***@redhat.com

Cheers, Jeff.

Apparently also bodhi too? Maybe unrelated, but this comment came in
earlier today:
