It’s a Saturday, and once again pornbots are busily attaching themselves to trending hashtags such as #BravoMasha. We found 22 accounts that appear to be part of this botnet (screenshots of content omitted for obvious reasons.) #SaturdaySpam.

@ZellaQuixote Although the bots in question have been around for years, none show significant volume prior to today. Although the tweets appear to be sent via the Twitter website, we suspect the accounts are automated due to the spamminess of their tweets.
@ZellaQuixote The purpose of the bots appears to be to promote the video4me(dot)xyz website. Even if you’re looking for porn, caution is advised before clicking links from spammy botnets as malware is not unlikely.
