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

[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..

@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.

[jarinks@mstdn.social]

@csolisr @stux pretty bad opsec for them to not use any vpns nor proxies doing that

[kris@floofy.tech]

@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.
