Bug Description
Bug 847649 has interesting spam: the user appears benign, but a genuine bug report and comments are followed up by spam entries from the same account.
To post a comment you must log in.
I don't know if this is a bug in lp as such. We do see people lose
the security of their account sometimes.
I suspect the user got a virus or other machine compromise that ended
up replying to all mail in their inbox with spam messages.
