Mumsnet has been inundated!

[Cadela]

Hundreds of v weird posts on every single board. Dont want to click on them to link but I’m sure you’ll spot one 😂

I reported a few but they must be being created electronically as there are loads!

Active has been taken over

Came on to say the same. Not seen this level of spam before!

Very frustrating!

WTAF, they are all different usernames too. I feel stupid for having opened a few threads now. What kind of overload attack is it?

This'll be fun to sort out! Poor MNTowers tech team. Someone make them coffee!

Absolute bedlam!

This!
Have a good day MNHQ!

Should we be worried?

Yes and no.

I work in IT and secretly these kind of events can be weirdly fun. Much more interesting than routine stuff

Crikey. Poor HQ. What a nightmare.

Yes, just coming to note that they're all different user names too, as I imagine MNHQ have a block on a single user posting that many topics.

Reported them.

I was just having a nice scroll with my 11am coffee and they suddenly appeared 🙄

Singularity is upon us...take cover! AI attack!

It's definitely a bot attack...

WTF is happening? I thought it was only me until I found this thread.

Is it bots?

Me too! Was looking forward to 10 minutes pissing about on MN!

Can’t even keep up reporting them!

Also - not much point reporting them, MNHQ will be aware now and you're just going to be spamming them with reports.

Don't click on them don't report them. There's no point. Just make sure any passwords you use for here aren't used elsewhere. Mumsnet has been hacked before!

I've reported one, but did warn them that they're everywhere!

Do mn not temporarily close new registrations when it becomes clear there's a huge spam attack?

It took about 1-2 minutes of hide clicking to get rid of them from Active. No point reporting as it's not as if MNHQ won't be aware of this.

It's not bots, it's a troll group called soyjak. They've done it to other places before, gaming servers etc

Absolute bell ends.
