FeralRobots<p>OK this spam is coming from multiple instances, all using the handle 'at-DemonicMirror' &amp; often with up to 20 tags.

Aaron<p>Got spam emails this morning by someone who opened an issue on GitHub with what was probably a very unsafe link and then just tagged dozens of users over and over and over. Why we needed 50 copies in a row of the same notification, IDK. Thankfully, the account is terminated already, but if this starts to be a regular thing, I might have to abandon GitHub altogether.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/GitHub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GitHub</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Spam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spam</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Spammers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spammers</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Scammers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scammers</span></a></p>

Renée Burton<p>The Russians aren't coming, they are already here. Without most anyone realizing, they've created an entire malicious adtech industry whose story is just as complex as the Chinese organized crime we're now realizing from their ventures into pig butchering. </p><p>VexTrio is just one Russian organized crime group in the malicious adtech world, but they are a critical one. They have a very "special" relationship with website hackers that defies logic. I'd put my money on a contractual one. all your bases belong to russian adtech hackers.</p><p>Today we've released the first piece of research that may eventually prove whether I am right. This paper is hard. i've been told. I know. We've condensed thousands of hours of research into about 30 pages. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@briankrebs" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>briankrebs</span></a></span> tried to make the main points a lot more consumable -- and wrote a fabulous complimentary article : read both! </p><p>There's so much more to say... but at the same time, between ourselves and Brian, we've released a lot of lead material ... and there's more to come. I've emphasized the Russian (technically Eastern European) crime here, but as Brian's article points out there is a whole Italian side too. and more. </p><p>We've given SURBL, Spamhaus, Cloudflare, Domain Tools, several registrars, and many security companies over 100k domains.

Hambone Fakenamington<p>I guess everyone's given up putting Unsubscribe links on emails these days?
