Libera spambots?
reddit / irc

I run a teeny IRC server, entirely unrelated to anything
Freenode/Libera, and I'm waking up this morning to a bunch of messages
like those below.  I don't hang out on any of the big IRC networks
anymore.   Is this dumb shit happening everywhere?  I guess I'm going
to have to spend my morning writing a k-line bot.  EDIT:  I removed
the nick/channel mentioned as it's unrelated to the spammers

I'm disconnected from the greater IRC community so I have no idea who
acidvegas is.  I run ngircd, but thanks for the advice :3

Looks like it's indeed everywhere. Very annoying. Even more since it's
once again something with freenode. Yes, freenode itself may or not be
the cause, but it's once again flood about crap happening over there.


No idea how big the server I hang out in is but an admin managed to
get the spam under control for now. (just a slew of join/quit
remaining).  let's just hope it dies faster than last time, where it
took weeks, and doesn't manage to bypass it -\_-

freenode is getting quite pathetic with their [false
flag](https://i.imgur.com/7VihqC7.png), just saw this on a EU irc
server.

If it's worth something then what is left from drone.bl etc list eg
not marked yet as infected host you can set your firewall to get list
from here https://github.com/AgentDeus/infected_hosts I'm updating it
every 10 minutes.

heh, just saw that exact message on a tiny network not related to any
of this. Same channel posted.

Yeah it appears to be scanning down the entire internet popped up on
our ircd too and we're not publicly listed.
