On 08 January exact 08 AM, I got a mail to reset my GitHub account due to suspicious activity. I am like what, how, who? But I certainly did as being said. And I thought that’s it and it’s all good now.
At same evening I raised an issue in other’s public repo. I thought it was a success but when I get back into that repo’s issue tab I am not able to see my issue. So I thought it might be got missed (which didn’t happened before), I may raise another but I thought I should check once to confirm.
Somehow, I figured out that it was opened but none can see it except me. Then my mind tricks, it may have happened by that today’s suspension.
I go to mails’ Trash tabs (because I deleted that email), restores it and read it again from start word-by-word. I checked account’s security logs there nothing suspicious expect that suspend, unsuspend, and oauth key terminations.
I reached to GitHub Support and raised a ticket to resolve this issue.
They said to create new account and use it. I was like what, why? What did I done wrong? Tell me.
They said the GitHub System suspected that my account is used distribute malware. :salute:
I insisted and told to review my account manually, there is nothing suspicious. This account is important for me. I haven’t created another because I know I haven’t done anything wrong.
They said it was your arv-anshul/dotfiles repository which is convicted and you should either delete it or privatize it. So I changed the visibility of the repository to PRIVATE.
And hence, the support team cleared the restrictions from my account. :finally:
Thanks.
