Hello GitHub Support Team,

I am requesting urgent assistance regarding my suspended GitHub account.

I recently discovered that my GitHub access token appears to have been compromised. After investigating my repositories, I found unauthorized changes, including malicious GitHub Actions workflows that I did not create or approve. These workflows were added across all repositories under my account.

As soon as I became aware of the incident, I took steps to secure my account, including revoking tokens, reviewing repository access, removing the malicious workflows, rotating credentials, and investigating the extent of the compromise.

I believe the suspicious activity that led to the account suspension was performed by the attacker using the compromised token, not by me. I have always used GitHub in accordance with the Terms of Service and have never intentionally engaged in malicious activity.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hi @CalmCoderX,

This community is managed by GitHub employees, but it is not a support forum. The only place to go for answers to account-specific questions like this one is opening a ticket on our Support page.

As no other Community Discussions team members will be able to provide additional help with account related questions I am going to close this discussion. We appreciate your understanding!
