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

A few thousand signups all accounts starting with "SAAR_"

I STRONGLY recommend admins to BLOCK this name from signing up 🚨

This goes on for a while..

All suspended and signups closed

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

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

@stux @Oregon_Pacifist Here's something you may want to see.
@stux Don’t forget whitehouse.gov
@64bithero @stux or @ theRealDonaldTrump

@RichieRich @64bithero Or this sucker his site

https://jdvance.com/

OH WAIT 😆

JD Vance for U.S. Senate

JD Vance: Conservative Outsider Running for U.S. Senate in Ohio.

JD Vance for Senate Inc.
@stux @64bithero Aaah, malware! This is awful. 😆

@stux

Yikes.

Hey @trumpet, in case you're seeing any of this.

@deirdrebeth @stux @trumpet I thought mas.to was invite only?

@cnk @stux @trumpet

Ah right! That does tend to solve these types of issues 🙂

@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 @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..

@mikelovesbikes @stux
Thank you both for bringing this to my attention.

I blocked sign-ups that begin with SAAR_ and I've blocked the 4 email domains.

@stux That's crazy..
