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

Yikes.

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

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

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

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..
