Noticing a weird thing here at weirder.earth - over the past hour, roughly, we received twenty-five account registrations, each about two minutes after the last, from email addresses of the format:
password.researchers.gatech.[number from 1 to 25][at]outlook[dot]com
with usernames [at]xa000000 through [at]xa000024 (one less).
Is anyone else seeing something similar? Anyone know what the story is? #FediAdmin #MastoAdmin
@packbat i suppose competent researchers wouldnt be spamming signups in the first place tho
@Satsuma yeah - if these are researchers, they are of the "I pushed these buttons and it's fine because I'm sure they'd stop me if it wasn't fine so I didn't ask permission" school
- 🎒
@Satsuma ...wow, yeah - that sure is a Thing, there. :|
(we weren't thinking about it because we were distracted wondering how many they'd send)
