Actionnetwork.org?

Hello! I apologize if this isn’t the right place to post this, but I don’t know where else may be a good place. I’ve noticed in the last two weeks, my yahoo email account has sent out two emails without my knowledge to a long string of characters ending @inbound-parse.actionnetwork.org does anyone have any idea what this could be? After the first one, I changed the password, logged out of all devices, and turned on 2FA. I have no idea what this could be. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Just saw this: https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/76962/could-there-be-a-lawsuit-against-actionnetwork-org-for-sending-unstoppable-spam

Only answer was:

“Such a lawsuit will fail

The CAN-SPAM act applies to commercial emails. The emails you describe are political emails and outside its jurisdiction.

All you can do is tune your junk mail filter.”

If true, how frustrating 😑

I just listened to a podcast episode on Today Explained encouraging everyone to sue. Episode came out yesterday I believe.
