weird spams.. they come from groups. u block it but comess from another group.. any ideas?


Question

Posted

i was tp ing hallowen sims and i landed to a russian sim. 
i saw somethings writen on local chat in russian language i thought they were talking.. the sender was a number like 445667
anyway i didnt care it much.

i tp ed somewhere else but saw the message again on local chat 5 minutes later again... it kept coming on my local channel with different numebrs.

i didnt click anything on that sim, i didnt touch anything, didnt receive anything.. didnt join anything.

i asked people there and they said it s some sort of ukranian spam.
i reloged, detached everything    but it kept coming.
so i guess a bot there got my name, and recorded to a grp of names list, and it keeps sending spam messages to that name list.

i activated enablespam protection on firestorm. i see it blocks messages on local chat with more than 5 lines.. but it s annoying. reporting and blocking doesnt seem to work yet.
the message i get on local is this "" AntiSpam: Blocked (???).(???) for sending an instant message with more than 5 lines."""

so u cant see the creators name or profile or group.. but they keep comnig and i see the same msg on local chat AntiSpam: Blocked (???).(???) bla bla bla

any of you seen something like that and solved it?
this is something i never seen before. u dont need to touch or click anything. it seems spammers just copies your name and send u message forever doesnt matter wherever you are.. each time i click the owner of message on local it gives a different name. i m sure the creator of that spam created many many groups and names for that..

i got another one now.. let me show you
[08:18] Second Life: AntiSpam: Blocked Denis Gradenko for sending an instant message with more than 5 lines.

i m sure the person dneis isnt the one who sends it. that person is probably a victim of spammer.
he s a real person if u search on people.
but when u click on his name on local chat it shows u that person as a group.....so, the spammer turned him into a group or i dont know.. the spams come from different names each time, or from numbers such as 334556...and when u click on those names u see they r groups. the creator of the group is ""IvesCousto""  i think this is the person who created all those spams..

the weird thing is lets say u r offline.. u still get the spams... and when u log in, u see them all written on your lcoal chat as if u were sent im when u r offline.

 

to be spammed u dont need to touch anything or click anything. if your name is copied to spam bot it s done. your name can be taken from any group or bot s can detecet u on any sim u r. and then u ll get the messages forever.

It is indeed still an issue.

Someone is capturing UUIDs of users usually on events and creating a list to drop in an object to launch the spam attack.
Curiously the object that spams does not have the creator or owner and stays as "Loading..." so can't be trackeable but if you teleport yourself to the object itselfs usually a bot or alter with around 2-4 months is near and teleport to other sandbox to continue with the attack.

I identified right now eight avatars that in almost every of the attacks are present in the location but blocking them does not stop the spam.

It has been reported to Linden Labs on multiple occasions but they either don't seem to give it much thought or don't know how to avoid it.
