We found a small botnet consisting of 7 accounts created in the span of 18 seconds on January 27th, 2020, with pinned tweets containing download links for the Brave web browser. Other than the Brave tweets, these accounts are entirely automated, via dlvr(dot)it.
The majority of this botnet's tweets consist of links to various news sites, with travel and local news being recurring themes. The only non-news site linked is brave(dot)com, home of the Brave web browser.
