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

A screenshot of a spam message on a Misskey server reading “はじめまして！私は犯罪者のみどくり(のなめ)こと鈴木哲哉(すずきてつや)です！ 趣味は様々なサイトに核を飛ばすことです！” It's linking to the following website: “https://krsw-wiki.org/wiki/唐澤貴洋Wiki:チラシの裏/荒らし連合軍#みどくり https://midokuriserver.github.io/minidon/” Then afterwards tagging many users.

@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.

Notifications, Gear Icon, People You don't follow, choose "Ignore"

@ErikUden Confirmed – 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
