Hi there.
On the lists "wikimedia-sk" and "wikimedia-sk-oznamy", where I am admin, we have received suspicious mass subscriptions (several tens in several hours). They came from nowhere, all with @aol.com address (very unusual for our target group) and all declared only first name. Most certainly some bot.
Provisionally I have set them all for moderation. Eventually I could block subscriptions from @aol.com addresses (no too big deal, because hardly someone real in our audience is using them) but I prefer systemic solutions and not to cure symptoms. And possibly someone else here is running into the same problem.
Any suggestions?
Regards! KuboF Hromoslav
Just noticed the same on the Wikimedia-bd list.

Hi there,
I was about to complain about this because the mailing lists I administer (metawiki-admins and meta-oversight) are also suffering from this flood.
I've set ^aol.com as banned (not sure if that's right?) to stop them as I've got few dozens of requests like that already.
Thanks for your help.
Regards, M.

Yeah, I saw (and did) the same for multimedia-l. Unfortunately there is no sender filter for members. I think setting "From: .*@aol.com" in the spam filters would have the same result though and that one does affect members. Maybe there is a way to do that globally instead of one-by-one for every mailing list?

Same with the list Wikimedia-IN-PUN. However, because the subscription needs approval, all these are pending. Either have to clean up the queue or it will clean up automatically later on.
Instead of blocking domain, setting up for approval is easier solution.

I think is fair to say that all MLs are under attack, so let's discuss the countermeasures. Do we want to temporarily global ban all AOL accounts, at least those who try to subscribe? Is it possible?

I think is fair to say that all MLs are under attack, so let's discuss
the countermeasures. Do we want to temporarily global ban all AOL accounts, at least those who try to subscribe? Is it possible?

Hi there.
On the lists "wikimedia-sk" and "wikimedia-sk-oznamy", where I am
admin, we have received suspicious mass subscriptions (several tens in several hours). They came from nowhere, all with @aol.com address (very unusual for our target group) and all declared only first name. Most certainly some bot.
Provisionally I have set them all for moderation. Eventually I could
block subscriptions from @aol.com addresses (no too big deal, because hardly someone real in our audience is using them) but I prefer systemic solutions and not to cure symptoms. And possibly someone else here is running into the same problem.
Any suggestions?

I've got nearly 100 subscription requests last night on the more than a dozen OTRS lists. Could anybody please install any filter?
Thank you.

Hello.
Sorry, cannot see the content from underways, but, my message was about we‘re not having any solution yet, since that time.
We‘re currently burning listmod time, which is perhaps the most limited good in our universe. Anybody should do something.
I‘m happy to assist if you let me know how.

On the list for which I am a moderator, the trend is now shifting towards @ yahoo.com accounts (but there is still a fair share of @aol.com ones stoo)

Quick heads up that the proposed solution to add the following:
Privacy options -> in ban_list window add ^.*aol.com
doesn't seem to block subscription *requests*, which I am getting tons of on two private lists I run.

Hello,
I have added the same regex and while I test, I get the 'this address is banned etc.' message, but fact is that I too am receiving lots of requests from aol.com addresses as well. 14 in the last hours on two ML I administer.

I see the same issue in @wikimedia-cl.
I'll apply the recommend privacy setting.
Kindly.

You’ll probably need to file a task in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ with tag Wikimedia-mailing-lists. (I dunno if this should be security stuff)
