Suspicious activities spotted on Steemit today [Mass registrations, Key changes, Self Spamming + Deletion tactic?]

Something strange is going on, I've been watching it for a while before saying anything..
If you check steemviz and watch the right-hand column for a while.

Hers a screenshot from 8:20pm AEST showing a constant stream of accounts changing their keys:



Every red key is an account changing its passwords/private keys

Patterns spotted so far

  • Account names are 14-16 characters long and randomised
  • All accounts that I checked were freshly registered 2 days to 24 hours ago
  • No other activity since registration until todays keychanges all at once

Some example accounts linked to steemd:
@goshoanayanius @felmeenaballaril @dagdalhalabunaya

Edit 1:30am / 5hrs later

Account updates finally stopped, and now the user/bot is back to mass account registrations, mostly in the same format but shorter usernames are becoming more prevalent..

Edit 4:00am / 7 hours later

Both account changes and registrations have stopped for now. But I have to call out @mindhunter for some suspicious looking tactics. I think you may be using a bot spamming + deletion tactic to raise the activity on your post for visibility. I've seen more post deletions from you then any other user in the past week.

The only proof I have right now, I've been trying to give you the benefit of the doubt but this has been going on for days..
