PSA: https://w3.do (the domain that I own and proxy to the nostr URL shortener) that is maintained by @Jingles (the backend shortener part) has experienced a mass scam/spam/phishing attack. The service has been restored, but the root cause has not been addressed. Since all of the burden for abuse responses falls on me, I cannot always keep-up with the takedown notices. The service is free, so rely on it as such. 🫡

I noticed in some of the photos people are posting from Fosdem that the nostr booth there is using w3.do links in its flyers/handouts. Possibly related?

Makes sense. I didn’t mean to imply that the booth organizer was doing it, but just thinking maybe someone seeing it’s being used there took the opportunity to try and attack the service.
