@trwnh someone's been using passwords from data leaks from other websites to try and log into mastodon.social accounts (maybe other instances but I've only seen mastosoc). The accounts then put a link to some porn site into their bio and I think they also auto-follow people? I regularly get reports so I'm extrapolating mastosoc themselves get a lot
