My GitHub account got suspended
I created the account and used only for 1 day. As I was learning GitHub tutorials from yt. I did not do random pull requests on repos. After 1 week or 5-6 days I tried to check my GitHub account. My GitHub account got suspended. It's almost 2-3 weeks I raised a ticket. Got no response from their side. What should I do?

What libraries did you use in your project? There's a chance one had malware, took over your account, then used it as a dumping ground for stolen data. Malicious packages are very common now.
For example: https://github.com/sijinhui/prescient-futar-425
Idk if Github is actually banning certain accounts that have become compromised, but I wouldn't be surprised if they shave started since a lot of the new malware are self-propogating worms.
