stux⚡️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 🚨
It seems email domains are reused, here are some to block:
reevalmail.com
bientotmail.com
sabesmail.com
bonjourfmail.com

Andrew Dunham@stephanie @stux Thanks! Added ✅
Retro Cozy!@stux @Oregon_Pacifist Here's something you may want to see.
Jimmothy Baggins@stux Don’t forget whitehouse.gov
Richie Rich@64bithero @stux or @ theRealDonaldTrump
@stux @64bithero Aaah, malware! This is awful. 😆
DB Schwein
CaesarNK 𒄷@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..

Admin Jerry@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.

Kierkethumbs up convincingly@stux spambots as a resource
Frank Heijkamp@stux At least those are easy to block. Very odd.
Gustavo@alterelefant @stux Exactly. I wonder if there is something we are missing. Maybe there is something else going on.

Trebach@stux cc @mdallastella in case anyone has tried to apply for an account consistent with this behavior
@trebach @mdallastella They also send massive amounts of applies, still costing money for all mails 
Be careful
I've turned off signups completely now

FallsMom 🌻I'm glad to be under the stux umbrella!
Carlos Solís@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.
Kris The Red Panda@stux blocked a couple of those accounts already, got fed up with them continuously following me back after repeated attempts at removing them from my follower list.

KSHernandez ♊(she/her/they)@stux I've heard that instance is always under some kind of attack... is that true?
@kshernandez Haha no ♥️😸 I can know since I own it!
I keep an close eye but since we are one of the bigger instances we often are a target if something happens
The attackers will just change the prefix.
