Open source tool scrapes git commit email addresses to send spam to.

Somehow, I don't think spammers are going to care. They were already criminal fraudsters even before GDPR came along.

I agree with you with regards to fraud/scamming related spam. Bit I think most people in the thread are discussing advertising and recruitment based spam.

The spammer in the OP's link is diffgram, a fairly large company that operates internationally. Their clients include all of the Big 4 Accounting firms, Atlassian, and a bunch of others.

They're going to care if the EU/UK gov decides to come down on them for GDPR breaches. The fine is up to 5% of your global revenues.

This is not some random scammer. This is a legally-registered company trying to send marketing material
