I'm sure many of you have noticed the spam wave hitting !capitalismindecay@lemmygrad.ml. You may have also seen similar posts getting spammed in !opensource@lemmy.ml and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

I was recently shared a link to this post by someone who learned more about what was going on. It turns out it's a false flag by a cybercriminal group trying to make it look like the person who DDoSed a very lucrative discord bot they run is spamming various fediverse communities. Oddly enough, both the cybercriminal group and the person being implicated in the false flag are all children.
