Anyone else getting a surge of message requests from random accounts?

For the past 4 days or so, I’ve received around 5 message requests from random accounts and was added to 2 groups with other random people. I assume these are fake accounts and scams.
Was my number leaked somewhere maybe? And even then, why use SignaI? I don’t really have a lot of contacts on Signal, mostly just family and a couple of acquaintances who also have it. And I’ve never gotten a random request in the 8+ years I’ve been using it.
It wasn't Nicole was it?
Yeah your number leaked somewhere. Isn't using phone numbers for your account fun!?
nope
I havnt
If on Android, you can use Molly instead as it has a setting to only allow messages from people saved in your contacts
