IFTAS can see 2,343 un-actioned botnet accounts, and thousands more are likely hiding in plain sight.
They’re spewing spam every few minutes, cross-following, bridging, and federating hundreds of thousands of unwanted posts.
And server admins are footing the bill.
While we can't shut them down, we can help you block them.
If a service goes at least 22 days without taking action on reported accounts, it becomes eligible for this denylist: https://about.iftas.org/library/iftas-abandoned-and-unmanaged-domain-list/
