Mastodon Moderators: If you've had this verification scam/spam happening from accounts on your server, would you mind sharing with me privately the IP address and other details of the account?

I'm trying to compile information on this attack (we don't have any of this data from Hachyderm, because we've approval based registrations due to LLM spam)

I've been able to pull together information on the different domains and text of the spam messages being used, but not much in the way of account details.

(Yes, this data is PII, and I promise to handle it responsibly)
