Dear @admin ( noc.social ),
This is @purrperl
Here we are again. I am sensing something non-kosher.
It has been weeks, that I have been trying to reach you and have not heard back.
Please send me a password reset email, as I have forgotten my password.
Please respond, and have a nice day!
Thanks,

@ashwin If your intention is to contact the @admin from defcon.social, you will need to complete the full name @admin when messageing from defcon.social as just using a bare @admin when messaging from defcon.social causes a message to be sent to the mostly unused @admin account.
If your goal to reach the official support on defcon.social the web page https://defcon.social/home reports it as @support which is just @support when messaging from defcon.social.
Good luck @ashwin
Thanks. My mistake. Anyway, the [email protected] contacted me and I have been able to migrate contacts over.
Just received this phishing message.
Please address this account appropriately.
Thanks!
@ashwin For local support, it is a good idea to use the mastodon built-in "report @ (their username)" often included as an option in or near a post that might violate service agreement. This helps make sure the notification goes to all moderators on defcon.social , instead of just one account on defcon.social.
I saw the reports from others using the usual "report" process and found several accounts from * @ * mastodon.cloud which have started spamming. Defcon.social mods have taken actions about these from our servers.
Notifying the support of a remote server as a source for abuse can also be useful, which you appear to have done.
Good luck!
Ashwin Dixit
