Body

Numerous accounts with my exact full name/surname (which is pretty unique) has been created (most recently). I have had a similar problem, contacted to Github Support and solved but the same problem occured again with even many more spam accounts. I want to know the reason and removal of these accounts. Why would such a thing happen? Has anyone had a similar experience?
