I see a pattern since this week: existing accounts are taken over for spamming. Members that have not logged in for years pop up as a zombie posting spam.
Questions:
- Is it from a single origin?
- How were credentials obtained?
- Should we be worried?
- This cannot be profitable, can it?
Hacked accounts?

I'm not very active here, so I didn't see any such "activities". But could it be that the site had a cyberattack? I don't see any reason for doing this. How can they profit from this? I'm a bit tech-illiterate when it comes to these things.
But still, we should be careful. Found an article about cyberattacks and I think we should follow the steps described there to prevent these attacks. Here's the link to it: https://www.salvagedata.com/what-is-cyberattack/

Possibly some other site being breached, with people reusing username/password.
