    Hi Fedizens, you may remember me as #altLink — yelling from the corner of the avatar.

    In a #Kafkaesque moment of quality frustration I morphed into #MitiGator the #MITM Prevention Alligator. As always, you can follow me and I'll follow you, to let you know when you accidentally toot a dodgy website.

    DID YOU KNOW I don't just #Cloudflare-warn? Over the next days I'll share some nice things I can do.

    Together, we can 'snap back' against the #MITMAttack!

  2. OVER 2000 FOLLOWERS LOST: There may've been an organised #cyberAttack on the #deCloudflare service, "#altLink".

    It recently underwent changes and needed a new instance to change its name to MitiGator. Why change instances? The previous instance, mamot.fr, had #closedRegistrations.

    The new, chosen instance may have lured the service to gain follower data and/or destroy the service.

    May be a case of #chooseYourInstanceWisely but we're investigating.

  3. EVOLVING STORY: There may've been an organised #cyberAttack on the #deCloudflare service, "#altLink".

    It recently underwent changes and needed a new instance to change its name to MitiGator. Why the need to change instances? Well, mamot.fr have #closedRegistrations for new accounts. The new, chosen instance may have lured them to gain follower data and/or destroy the service.

    It could be a case of #chooseYourInstanceWisely, but we are investigating.

    More soon.
