@silhouette@dumbfuckingweb.site @Viss@mastodon.social I see all sorts of wacky stuff - that gets discarded. Quite a few of them are copying the contents of bios of other mastodon accounts and using that as the reason to join. I get a lot of “Infosec.exchange requires you to enter a reason to join. You need to enter something believable. Would you like help?” (Variations of that), and lately, it’s been very on point reasons “I work in IT and trying to get into cyber security” and so on. The latest wave is not really discernible based on the reason they provide.

@jerry@infosec.exchange @silhouette@dumbfuckingweb.site do the waves come from any isps or multiple signups from the same host? i get there are residential proxies in use, but im wondering if theres enough volume to spot patterns. or like, web/appserver logs from the same ip - do they do recon before signing up in a way that can get fingerprinted
