Random and weird customers subscriptions emails

Hello team,

We have encountered some strange behavior from certain customers who have subscribed and sent emails with suspicious content or hacking codes. These emails appear as:

 (random characters Sitename (at) data backup store .com) ( please see the attached screenshot)

Do you have any information about this?

We have the same issue recently. Shows "Customer Was Created' but no source or other information.

Also seeing this.  Thinking to delete these entries but want to know where they're coming from.  Are these being generated by Shopify in some way?

Update: The situation has gotten worse. I have now received multiple scam emails that appear to be from the apps I have downloaded for my Shopify stores. This means that the scammers know what apps I am using, which is a serious security concern.

Same issue...just had to delete 117 of these spam email sign-ups. And I'm getting messages from other REAL customers who registered telling me they are getting SPAM messages from my store. VERY FRUSTRATING.

This is still an issue for some clients, unfortunately. And no definite resolution has been given to date. I just cleared a total of over 2k of these emails from a list.
