For a week now, I am constantly getting emails from ChatGPT with verification codes for account creation on older email addresses that have been part of data breaches. The emails are sent by tm.openai.com, so they seem to be legit. My question is why would anyone try to create a ChatGPT account using my email addresses? The email accounts all have strong passwords and are secured with 2FA. So I’m fairly sure they aren’t getting those emails with those temporary login codes. So what is the point of this?
The scammers may not know that, or they’re hoping that you’re using an unencrypted email server. I doubt anyone does that anymore, but it’s still possible.
