@hugo we are taking that hugely seriously and do think a means of cross-instance warning would make sense…. Certainly posting to #mastoadmin is one way. Bet there could be others.

@hugo here is key bit from the above: “… an attacker creates a profile on a social media site like anyone else. Then adds the URL of their profile (or RSS feed) to the malware bot. Once the bot infects a third-party computer, it fetches the social media profile of the attacker and looks for instructions. The attacker can then issue instructions/commands using standard social media tools, and the bot follows those instructions . “ cc: @mastohost
