Starting to see accounts that have been compromised after clicking on the fake 'verify your account' spam that's doing the rounds here.

Please boost for visibility:

* Familiarise yourself with you instance's admin and moderator accounts and ONLY trust account-related messages from those accounts.

* Do not click links without confirming with your instance staff that they're legit!

* Generally, any problems with your account will be brought up via email, not from a random fediverse handle.

@Curator how we do know that the account got hacked

Idk this didn't happened to me but I need to know how can we stop it

@Rinakochi they're accounts that had existed for a while posting 'normal' things that then started sending out the scam 'verification' message
