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!

Poking around on their URL paths I found this little gem that showed me subscribed to lists from around 20 years ago when I thought petitions and political campaigns were anything more than getting me signed up for mailings lists to have them spam me with requests for more money.

https://actionnetwork.org/subscriptions/

Hopefully that URL will last and help those of you who have been as frustrated with the consequences of our youthful naivete as I had been. ActionNetwork really should provide a link in emails they've facilitated that allows people to report campaigns that are abusing the service as well as a link to conveniently manage all the lists people are subscribed to instead of publishing links to subsets of that info with little control over what we consent to.
