   I've been getting a number of what appear to be phishing attacks here on the fediverse and I'm guessing others are too. They seem to be targeting trans girls and getting them to join chats. (No, I'm not going to join them.)

   Have others seen this? I wonder who's behind it.

     I'd assume LLM generated text, and they probably have a number of different boilerplate posts for different demographics (or at least they would if I were running this scam 😤). It would be easy enough to look for trans flags or they/them pronouns (or conservative hashtags and American flags) in profiles and sort people into their probable demographics that way, to better tailor the messaging.

     Our org has been getting some pretty tailored phishing emails too 😕
