If anyone is tracking the signup date of the spam accounts that might be interesting to look at. Are they mostly new accounts or are many of them old ones that have recently been activated

@jerry @stux ah yes I just found another one https://mastodon.social/@imPooYa was registered in 2018! So they are taking over old accounts!

So I guess the question now is HOW they are taking over old accounts. Are these accounts that all had weak passwords? But I thought old accounts on m.s ask you to verify a email code if they haven't been logged into in a long time
