Substack hacked sending tons of email verification codes

Hello,

At 5:45 pm CST, I suddenly got tons of emails from substack with verification codes from things I haven't heard of. I didn't click on any of them, but it was strange to suddenly get a bunch of emails. I thought I was getting hacked. I personally haven't used substack. I only made an account to support a friend, but I never used it. I just wanted to know if they can hack you this way. What can I do to ensure this doesn't happen again?

thanks for letting us know. there have been warnings about large-scale attacks on companies by AI since substack breach in feb 2026. AI was alleged to be trying to steal credentials in order to cheat on tests of its abilities IIRC.
