I noticed this when trying to save a page on github. At first I thought my cookies were forwarded in the archive request, then I noticed that all requests [1] were "logged in" as this user. The profile pic is very uncanny too lol. Curious as to if anyone knows why, but I'll do my own digging too. User "volth" does not exist on github at the time of writing. edit: I'm not the only one that's noticed [2] edit2: They seemed to be a really prolific github user [3] [1] https://ift.tt/djVmEix [2] https://ift.tt/165Negd [3] https://ift.tt/H2vLEfp
