TFW you're a four-month old #MAGA Twitter account who "works around Intel specialist" and the Congressman you claimed was in FBI custody inconveniently tweets less than half an hour later.

The @MelaniasRhonda account has doubled down on its dubious claim that Adam Schiff has been arrested. This appears to be false, as Schiff continues to post on social media, but that hasn't stopped folks from running with the bogus narrative and causing Schiff's name to trend.
Several of the tweets claiming Adam Schiff was arrested include a screenshot from lacountyarrestrecords(dot)org, which is extremely unlikely to be accurate given that it also contains "LA county arrest records" for multiple former British prime ministers.
Another problem with the claim that Schiff was arrested at LAX on Christmas Eve: he had a Christmas get-together with family on Zoom... from the same room he has been repeatedly interviewed in over the last couple months, which is presumably in his Washington, DC home.

If you're looking for spammy Twitter accounts with stolen profile pics peddling #InsertCountryNameHerePhoneNumberLists and #Email #Lists, this botnet's for you.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
We found a network of 16 accounts tweeting links to latestdatabase(dot)com, all but two of which were created in 2020. These accounts tweet on extremely similar schedules and (allegedly) posted all of their recents tweets via the Twitter web app.
Although other sites turn up occasionally, the majority of the network's content is tweets linking latestdatabase(dot)com, a website that supposedly sells lists of people's email addresses and cell phone numbers. (As always, be wary of clicking links to unknown websites.)

It's a great day to look at a botnet with GAN-generated profile pics that links several websites with "authors" that use the same GAN-generated pics. #HolidayShenaniGANs

(GAN = generative adversarial network, the AI technique used by thispersondoesnotexist.com)

cc: @ZellaQuixote
We found the first portion of this botnet a few days ago: six accounts that link timesofcasino(dot)com. As it turns out, the network is larger.
We found 60 accounts with GAN-generated pics made (mostly) in Aug 2020 that we think belong to the botnet:

• 42 accounts linking capitalbay(dot)news
• 6 accounts linking timesofcasino(dot)com
• 6 accounts linking coinnewsspan(dot)com
• 6 accounts linking namecoinnews(dot)com

Earlier today, Trump retweeted a @KMCRadio tweet that mostly demonstrates the author's poor understanding of differences in population density in various areas of the USA. This thread, however, is not about that tweet - the topic is @KMCRadio's fake followers.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
Although @KMCRadio's recent followers mostly look like organic #MAGA accounts, its early followers are anything but. Sometime in mid-2012, it was followed en masse by thousands of accounts created between 2009 and 2011 that have never liked a tweet (among other similarities).
To find the remainder of this bulk follow network, we downloaded the followers of other accounts followed by @KMCRadio's early bogus followers, and repeated the process until we hit diminishing returns. (We didn't find many more - most of the network appears to follow @KMCRadio.)

We took a quick look at a small online casino botnet that uses GAN-generated profile pics (similar to those produced by thispersondoesnotexist.com). #HolidayShenaninGANs

cc: @ZellaQuixote
This botnet consists of six accounts with GAN-generated profile pics, all created on August 11th, 2020. As is the case with all StyleGAN-generated face pics, the major facial features (particularly the eyes) line up when the images are blended/overlaid.
These six accounts tweet on nearly identical schedules and (allegedly) post all of their tweets via the Twitter Web App. Thus far, each accounts has sent exactly 10 tweets; with the exception of their first tweet, they always tweet within an hour of one another.

What's up with these identical replies to a @gabry1090 coupon code tweet? #SaturdaySpam

cc: @ZellaQuixote
Answer: unsurprisingly, a botnet. We found 19 accounts that we believe are part of the network, created over the course of a little over an hour on December 7th, 2020. All their tweets thus far are replies sent via either "Mobile Web (M2)" or "Twitter Web Client".
The 19 accounts in this reply spam botnet operate on nearly identical schedules, and often send the same replies. Most replies are in Arabic, with the occasional English reply thrown in for good measure. (As always, take the Google translations with a grain of salt.)

In a bizarre coincidence, this hashtag-crammed @SorabNY tweet was retweeted by a bunch of accounts created in May 2014 with random-looking names. #FridayFeeling

cc: @ZellaQuixote
These accounts are part of a 29-account retweet botnet created on May 25th, 2014. All the accounts have names consisting of 11 or 12 lowercase letters, beginning with a consonant and followed by alternating vowels and consonants. We suspect the names were generated randomly.
The accounts in this botnet have thus far posted all of their tweets (allegedly) via "Twitter Web App". Despite being created back in 2014, we found no evidence any of them tweeted prior to September 2020, with most accounts activating for the first time on December 9th, 2020.
