I received messages about an account that wasn’t mine, to an email address that wasn’t even the one I used back when I still had Discord.

It seems to be them, their address is correct, and is properly signed as far as I can tell.

What is even going on here. Come on, Discord.

Probably. The links in those messages are Discords domain plus alphabet soup, so who knows, they’re terrible with user data.

Never click a link in a email!

(Maybe those click to verify links sent as 2factor when you click the button, but never a unsolicited email)
