Multiple Misskey Servers have just had a spam attack with many of their bots even messaging me personally. This may be a new spam wave going through the Fediverse, this time only Misskey servers being affected (to my knowledge)!

The translated message reads:

Nice to meet you! I'm Suzuki Tetsuya, also known as the criminal Midokuri (Noname)! My hobby is nuking various sites!

The Mastodon Update 4.3, which has just been released today, would automatically filter messages like these. Many users, already on alpha versions of that release, will probably not even realize this attack is going on! #FediBlock #SpamWave #Spam

@pjakobs @ErikUden You can filter notifications like this on Mastodon 4.3.

Best do this on the "New Accounts" option for spam waves like this one.

@ErikUden Confirmed ā€“ I see no trace of this spam attack on my GlitchSoc instance running today's release.

@ErikUden it's not just Misskey, e.g. mastodon.acm.org, mastodon.openjw.com etc etc. Also, how would 4.3 automatically filter?

@ErikUden@mastodon.de is that an another case of framing someone as the spammer
