@Tutanota The word "spam" meaning to flood a place with unwanted messages comes from a carnist joke made by #MontyPython in which the capitalist product #Spam is mythologized as an archetypal unwanted worthless repetition. A murder victims body reduced to a literal throw-away joke depicting their mangled corpse as nothing more than a nuisance.The company that killed them "Spam company" is remembered more readily than the victim #speciesism #carnism

Those funky cool kids at Commodore have sent me another unsolicited email, this time with the font colour set to white so it's invisible. I guess every single person there only uses dark mode and never considers that some of us need light to see things.

⚠️ SW-ISAC Advisory

As part of the ongoing monitoring of a coordinated Russian spam campaign, we have identified a number of open registration servers that are either unwilling to act on known spam and coordinated inauthentic behaviour; or are clearly abandoned.

We may make an importable CSV denylist, but for now these domains are listed at https://about.iftas.org/library/known-spam-fediverse-services/#Unmanaged_Unmaintained_Abandoned_Servers for your review.

Who else keeps getting fake vulnerability reports paired with extortion attempts in their inbox?

This is really annoying because obviously I would be very interested if there was an actual vulnerability.

We are seeing the accounts

"invoicetempleapp" and "invoicetemple"

creating mirror accounts on numerous open registration servers. This activity appears to be part of a coordinated SEO spam campaign designed to artificially boost search engine rankings through mass link posting.

If your server prohibits this type of activity, you are encouraged to review and take appropriate moderation action.

Unlike traditional platforms, the Fediverse doesn't have an algorithm to push posts. Instead, content needs to be boosted by other users to gain visibility. In this case, the user employed another site — with zero active users (see screenshot) — to boost their own post. The boosting account was created just yesterday (see screenshot), making the intent even more obvious.

Please note the obvious: a brand-new Fedi site with no active users and no activity would not immediately be well federated with another random, relatively new and unknown Fedi site. That’s not how the Fediverse works!

The domains involved in this scheme are fuckass.space and darkestalleygang.lol

This is spam — just dressed up as conversation.

A Russian network creating hundreds of accounts on >150 servers remains active, constituting coordinated inauthentic behaviour, and spam.

We are directly contacting affected services, but all admins should check for new accounts that match the indicators.
