Here we go again  Cheesy. Wonder if he purposely chose to start on a Saturday because the Globals have their spa days on the weekends  Grin.

I bet he is doing exactly that, If I remember correctly these attacks have been happening only on weekends.

Reported everything I could (think I reported pretty much all his posts). Seems like he stopped now.

Where was that?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--1093607

In the above thread. The dox includes the cloudminer and mining domains which were the domains used when previous accounts were hacked. The most recent hack was using a very similar MO (creating numerous threads with a link to a site that contains malware and locking the thread to prevent people from warning others not to click the link).

Unfortunately there is no documentation to back up how exactly his identity was determined.

We really need some kind of Bat Phone to make it easier to alert global moderators when this kind of thing is happening.

I am surprised that he is still doing this considering that he was just doxed yesterday.

Deleting the ones I can as they come in.

Thx! good work, but it is the same person from the other users!

Not sure what you mean but it's the same spam because people keep getting infected by the same malware which hijacks their accounts and has a knock-on effect when others download the virus from the links he's spreading.

sorry i do my best i'm dutch, yes you explan what I trying to say

Do what? Mods can only handle reports in the sections they cover. I already handled the ones I can.

Would it not be worth giving some trusted users the ability to automatically remove the last X number of posts and suspend an account if they come across a user on a spamming run?

If they abuse it they risk getting banned themselves, but it could be worthwhile to have additional eyes-on with the ability to actually stop it in its tracks. It does appear to be something of an issue recently.

Well I think more active global mods should be added, but I don't think we should give out banning powers to non-mods, but if they deserved that privileged then they should just be made staff anyway.

I see. Any idea when mods in charge of other sections might come online?

No. Mods come and go at their own leisure.
