Hi, I received an email today claiming that a document had been shared with me. The link in the email ultimately goes to:
https://bafybeifmtpjnod34eo2l7cpnori44jhki7jexeblpk76dagz6g7jkxgn4e.ipfs.w3s.link/ and then to the .js file stored there

Needless to say, you will want to remove this "user"

Thank you
Gary
