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

    Be careful

    I've turned off signups completely now

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

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

                  @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..

                              @alterelefant @stux Exactly. I wonder if there is something we are missing. Maybe there is something else going on.

                                @stux From what I gather, they were spamming invites to a Discord room with the code "krebble" - they were trying to DDOS #KrebsOnSecurity, and I think they also doxxed one of their members.

                                    @stux blocked a couple of those accounts already, got fed up with them continuously following me back after repeated attempts at removing them from my follower list.
