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 🚨

@stux From what I gather, they were spamming invites to a Discord room with the code "krebble" - they were trying to DDOS #KrebsOnSecurity, and I think they also doxxed one of their members.
@csolisr @stux pretty bad opsec for them to not use any vpns nor proxies doing that
They explicitly boasted about having thousands of domains and millions of residential IPs at their disposal. Being very public about it was part of their advertisement strategy
