Is this a security risk? JanineMills1 is attaching tens of persons to the same sources.
Who do I report an issue with someone who is attaching tens of persons to the same sources without regard to names, places, or relationships? She attached a source to multiples, including several of my persons. When I detached, a list of persons were attached to the same source, and I had to scroll through to find mine to detach from her list.
See two of several relatives for examples.

Normally I would send a note to a person, but all the attachments are so random and voluminous there may be an issue other than not understanding research. I do not know this person.
Please let me know if I should have concerns about this person doing this.

This is the best place to report possible vandals. Hopefully a FS staff member will respond soon.

Hello again Becky,
It would probably be best for you to contact the other user to begin with. Maybe she is just attaching hints without paying attention to see if they are for the right person.
If you do not hear anything from her in a week or so, you can report this as abuse, since it could be considered harassment.
Steps (website)
- Go to a place on FamilySearch where you can report abuse:
- Tools: On the Person page of an individual, look under Tools for the Report Abuse link.
- Messages: Click the person's name next to a message and click Report Abuse.
- Sources attached to individuals: Click a source. The Report Abuse link shows under the source title.
- Fill in the required information, and click Submit. All reports remain confidential.
The knowledge article link below also has instructions for using your mobile device.
Best Wishes!
