Public Notice

Lots of reports of crypto spam attacks coming in from multiple instances today.

Seems like the bad guys are getting kinda worried about Mastodon.

Instance admins are taking this very seriously and working hard to fend off the attacks.

What can you do? If you see a crypto scam post, don't engage with it. It's just a bot anyway. If you block and report the post it will help administrators isolate the attacker account.

We got this!

Yes thank you! I didn't get to check my phone all afternoon and when I did I saw notifications about some mentions that were total spam. By the time I clicked to report them I got the screen that they didn't exist. Handled so quickly I didn't get a chance to do anything about it.

@HeatherPC @mastodonmigration that’s great moderation! I blocked DMs from randos.

I should probably do that as well
