Hello all.

Mastodon does NOT solicit paid verification.

Looks like there’s a new version of the fake ‘Mastodon Team’ phishing attempts that are targeting new users by replying to Introduction posts.

Again, please alert new users, and please report and block this fraudulent account.

#Fediblock #Phishing #Mastodon #Introduction

A phishing post with a link for the unwary from a new so-called ‘Mastodon Team’ account.  It reads “ Hello, dear Mastodon user! We've noticed your activity on our forum and are ready to offer you cooperation. To proceed, please complete the verification using the link that our assistant will send you below. [bad link] Once verified, you will be able to receive monthly payments from our company. Thank you for everything, Mastodon!”

I recently discovered that rich assholes may have intimidated a security company into taking down excellent research they wrote three years ago.

There are far too many rich assholes attempting to intimidate people these days. Fuck all these guys.

And don't forget to archive shit in many locations.. locally. Archive.org. archive.today.. email it to others.. rewriting history is bad.

You should read this excellent paper. I don't know the researchers but it is good work..

Please boost for awareness of this great work and scare tactics
