I keep reporting these posts in tech support that are always posted by a brand new account with a random gibberish name. Is there no way to IP ban them or do they keep using a new IP?
They always seem to list a event going on and have a link which I don't click. This one just happened to have a lot of links but usually it's just one.
We know. The nuking bot should be catching them, but there are a few issues with it. Those users are nuked on sight.
On a side note, the urls that they link to are somewhat interesting. They all link to legitimate institutions and I contacted them to let them know that they had some sort of compromise on their systems that was letting people host potentially malicious PDFs on their sites. The ones I contacted were the University of Colorado (!), some branch of the Australian Government(!), A non-profit group, a news website, and two companies. On the Aus. Gov't and the non-profit replied and they said that they have fixed the problem on their end to stop people from accessing those links so hopefully that will help.
I thought the links looked legitimate and that's why it was even more confusing!! I didn't see those exact ones but similar for sure.
They do get ip banned as do all other bots but they obviously have access to a lot of connections. Just keep reporting them as annoying as it may be.
Will do. At least they're easy to spot because the titles never make sense at all.
