      WE DID IT LEMMY

        I’ve been reporting spam coming from Spaceship domains for months now; I can assure you they DGAF :/

        Here’s a list of valid addresses to forward spam back to, even though it hasn’t done me any good:

        abuse@spaceship.com support@spaceship.com postmaster@spaceship.com ceo@spaceship.com

            ICANN is your next stop.

            https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/abuse-2014-01-29-en

            Edit: I did some digging because I was curious. Spaceship looks like a related company to Namecheap (perhaps even fully owned by them). Business records in Arizona for Spaceship, Inc have the founder and CEO of namecheap and namecheap itself named.

                Yeah, I found the Namecheap connection too. Can’t remember who bought who. The current CEO seems like a real slimeball.

                Realistically, why would they GAF? They aren’t exactly doing something illegal. It’s just morally wrong.

                    They have a contractual obligation to investigate and respond to abuse complaints. ICANN will punish them if they don’t.

                      Because someone like Google might block all of their domains and make the entirety of their products functionally useless.

                      Is there more context on what this is or what was happening?

                          lots of fedi instances have been getting hit hard with an absurd amount of spam signups

                          Abuse report is sent

                          and a couple hundred requests deleted from the queue sigh

                          What a bunch of slopped together crap

                              1. a registrar will not care about random abuse messages that do not show clear illegal behavior or is not signed by any lawyers office
                              2. even if the domain get’s blocked, how long does it take to set up a new one? How long does it take to set up 100 new ones?
                              3. activitypub is by default very vulnerable and inefficient. Sources are not validated and the protocol does not have any mechanisms to protect itself from such attacks.
