Hopefully this finds you well! I suspect that you may already be aware, but just in case you're not, there is someone posting multiple messages that are all from the same account: HAVEIBEENPWNED.

Looking at the routing of the message, it appears to be starting with 1337:1/100. But with sophisticated tools available now, who knows for sure.

If you haven't seen them, please let me know how I can be of assistance! I have placed the offender in my twit filter but that just stops them from letting me see them but they're still in the message file.

Thanks!

Yes, I am seeing this spam also. It's being detected as a dupe by my system, but keeps getting delivered to me EVERY 15 MINUTES for a couple of DAYS now.

Can the hub at /100 please delete this message so it doesn't keep getting sent out?

Thanks.

Hi Ogg,

These posts are actually not spam, these are daily (mostly daily) automatic posts I have set up for the network relating to data breaches etc.

If you don't care for them, that's fine to add to your twitlist, but these posts are intentional, as are other posts related to science, technology and weather in the general science and general technology bases.

Ok I just saw what you meant, omgosh my scraping script went rogue. I have now fixed it and hopefully shouldn't be spamming anymore on that article :fingerscrossed:

I'll keep an eye out for a while but should know pretty quick if it worked.

Cheers for bringing it to my attention =)

If 20-30 of the same message/day is not spam, then I don't know what is. I do realize some of them are useful but the one's I'm complaining about are dated 3 Jun 2024. ALL of them with the same content.

haha yeah I noticed this AFTER I sent the first message lol. I fixed it immediately after seeing the issue, so hopefully now going forward there will be no more spam from haveibeenpwned =)

Apologies for the previous spammage folks!
