Il fondatore e CEO di #Mastodon, Eugen Rochko, ha dichiarato che questi attacchi sono più difficili da moderare perché prendono di mira i server piccoli non preparati o senza le risorse per contrastare questi attacchi #spam di massa che spesso possono far lievitare i costi dei server, lasciando gli amministratori con fatture alte da pagare

Over the weekend, hackers targeted federated social networks like Mastodon to carry out ongoing spam attacks that were organized on Discord, and conducted using Discord applications.
“The attacks were coordinated through Discord, and the software was distributed through Discord,” said Emelia Smith, a software engineer who regularly works on trust and safety issues in the fediverse, a network of decentralized social platforms built on the ActivityPub protocol.
