OVER 2000 FOLLOWERS LOST: There may've been an organised #cyberAttack on the #deCloudflare service, "#altLink".
It recently underwent changes and needed a new instance to change its name to MitiGator. Why change instances? The previous instance, mamot.fr, had #closedRegistrations.
The new, chosen instance may have lured the service to gain follower data and/or destroy the service.
May be a case of #chooseYourInstanceWisely but we're investigating.
2000 FOLLOWERS STOLEN? (update)
The instance being investigated for the above alleged #Theft of #Followers and #FollowerData via Means of #Deception is https://tvitero.com
The admin of that #FediInstance appears to have gone silent. We continue to wait for responses. We're advised the admin understands and has published in english.
Let's hope any confusion and theft is remedied soon and #MitiGator can continue the fight against the #Cloudflare (+ other) #MITMAttacks.
2500 FOLLOWERS STILL HOSTAGE (but…)
We are happy to report that the volunteer #DeCloudflare service, @MitiGator, is back online, warning us when we boost compromised domains.
The transition waters are still murky though, given that the admin over at tvitero.com, #makis, continues to be silent on his apparent the hostage of the 2500 approx followers.
Let's hope that ends soon.
In the meantime, check out @MitiGator the super-helpful #MitM Prevention Alligator.
