Unexpected email to private email address stating I was made administrator of organization

[Felix Malinowski]

One of my private email accounts recently received an email from Atlassian, stating "An admin made you an administrator of an organization".

Two things are strange about this:

1) The sender and the links in the email seem legit.

Sender:

noreply+f1a9569@id.atlassian.net

Link:

https://track.atlassian.com/tracking/...

 which redirects to

https://admin.atlassian.com/o/...

which again redirects to

https://id.atlassian.com/login?continue=...

So if it's a scam, it looks like a good one.

2) I use that particular email address, which this email was sent to, only for GitHub. I am not aware how Atlassian would know this.

Did anyone else make the same experience recently?

Hello and welcome to Atlassian Community @Felix Malinowski 

Another organization admin could have entered that email address manually when assigning the admin role.

If that email is visible somewhere through GitHub, previous collaboration, commits, invites, or another workflow, someone may have used it intentionally or accidentally.

If you have any concerns raise it directly to Atlassian like @Nikola Perisic  said. 

I don't really believe into coincidences.

Best,

Welcome @Felix Malinowski 

For everything that seems suspicious to you, you should report such behavior to Atlassian here: https://www.atlassian.com/trust/report-abuse

Atlassian doesn't have any information other the one you give it.

Also, is anyone else from your organization an organization admin as well? Check with them, if they didn't do that, report this.
