       Please report any account that claims that you need to verify your #Mastodon account to continue using it. It is a scam. Don't click the links. Real staff accounts either have a special role badge on their profile or are verified through the joinmastodon.org domain.

       We're as frustrated as everyone else with these phishing attacks. mastodon.social had new sign-ups in approval mode this week to limit the impact, but offenders targeted other instances and compromised existing accounts. We take the problem very seriously; we're suspending and blocking as quickly as possible, as well as actively working on countermeasures.

       @cainmark @nunesgh We have the staff role badge which can only be set by the server administrator, though the badge is only visible when you are viewing it from mastodon.social itself.

       @staff @cainmark Thank you for that information! I'm on mastodon.social, but I'm usually on a third-party app, #Fedilab, which doesn't show badges, so domain verification is still important.On that, why not verify through mastodon.social and mastodon.online instead of joinmastodon.org?#Mastodon #MastodonSocial #MastodonOnline

       @nunesghAt least, when opening the profil remotely, you should see the badge with Fedilab. So there is an issue on our end. Bookmarked for a fix. @staff @cainmark
