Oof. A massive spam attack just now on mstdn.social

[heliograph@mastodon.au]

@stux @xrobau

[kierkegaanks@beige.party]

@stux spambots as a resource

[alterelefant@mastodontech.de]

@stux At least those are easy to block. Very odd.

[stux@mstdn.social]

It seems email domains are reused, here are some to block:

reevalmail.com
bientotmail.com
sabesmail.com
bonjourfmail.com

[stux@mstdn.social]

@Sempf Yup, "equals" or "contains"

[stephanie@ottawa.place]

@stux @andrew Flagging!

[buage@mastodon.social]

@stux That's crazy..

[sempf@infosec.exchange]

@stux Wow! Neat feature for an open source project. Me likey.

[retrocozy@retro-gaiden.com]

@stux @Oregon_Pacifist Here's something you may want to see.

[jarinks@mstdn.social]

@stux they seem to originate from Asia

[64bithero@mstdn.games]

@stux Don’t forget whitehouse.gov

[trebach@functional.cafe]

@stux cc @mdallastella in case anyone has tried to apply for an account consistent with this behavior

[stux@mstdn.social]

@trebach @mdallastella They also send massive amounts of applies, still costing money for all mails

Be careful

I've turned off signups completely now

[andrew@ottawa.place]

@stephanie @stux Thanks! Added

[deirdrebeth@mas.to]

@stux

Yikes.

Hey @trumpet, in case you're seeing any of this.

[cnk@sharkey.world]

@deirdrebeth@mas.to @stux@mstdn.social @trumpet@mas.to I thought mas.to was invite only?

[deirdrebeth@mas.to]

@cnk @stux @trumpet

Ah right! That does tend to solve these types of issues

[stux@mstdn.social]

@deirdrebeth @cnk @trumpet ish

If they manage to get an unlimited invite you're still oof if that's not blocked

Keep an eye out

[cnk@sharkey.world]

@stux@mstdn.social @deirdrebeth@mas.to @trumpet@mas.to good point

[stux@mstdn.social]

@cnk @deirdrebeth @trumpet For now these 4 email domains seems to be it, plus the "SAAR_" in the username

It was a bad bot but super duper mega fast..
