(Edit - it's over, for now.) Why are there so many cracked software spam posts in the last few days?

I know spam posts have been around for a while but not like this.
I'm in the Fediverse for the lack of advertising as much as anything else but this may as well be R****t.
Apologies for the rant, please lmk if I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks.
You're viewing a single thread.
they seemed to be leaking in from one particular instance I was subbed to. I unsubbed from that instance before coffee this morning and now I can't even remember which one it was, so I'm seeing fewer of them, at least.
They are coming from many instances. None of them seem to have the security question enabled at signup.
Oh, how are you able to see that?
Simply going to the instance and looking at the signup page.
On voyager it’s a setting to show the users instance. I always have that on. Helps to give context
The instance is toast.ooo but there's spam also coming from lemmynsfw.com
Oh no, you can do it!
Remember, remember, remember, remember.....
No pressure 🗿
