Heya, I’ve been receiving some spam e-mails on the address which I (exclusively) use/d for Framework orders and for the forum, starting around the beginning of July 2026. They always have “FRANCES CONNOLY” with some weird addresses as the sender. Is anyone else experiencing something similar? If yes, it _might_ be a hint that Framework _could_ be affected by a data leak. Or is there some way to leak your mail on the forum? Have I Been Pwned doesn’t show anything when I enter the address. ---

I’ll keep an eye out, but I haven’t seen anything with that name come through so far. ---

I think you will find that some spam bot is just generating random addresses, and it has happened on yours. Best you can do is just send anything not from Framework to the spam folder. ---

I do not get any spam emails from the adress used for Framework. And my adress is used for a few other services. So I’m pretty sure it’s not general problem with Framework services. ---
