Every progressive with half a hand at hacking will try to be a hero to take this down. Mastodon is going to get some free penetration testing.

I don’t think that’s likely. The recurring theme with these right-catering sites seems to be “we put all of our user data on a public bucket,” at which point a Twitter rando tends to find them with a Shodan search or Google Dork. Which is the telling part: it’s infrastructural incompetence, not exploits in Mastodon or whatever software they choose to run.

I'm pretty sure whoever is investing in this is heavily aware of that possibility.

Every anybody with a thimble of knowledge about "hacking" understands that you cannot "take this down" for more than a few days at a time.
