IFTAS

hf.space is a hosting service for "AI Apps" and is currently being used to generate large amounts of #Spam on federated networks. The subdomain seen in use is ali525-q.hf.space - however, numerous spam activities are paused, running, or being stopped by HuggingFace and at this time we recommend suspending federation with the hf.space domain entirely.

⚠️ SW-ISAC Advisory

The IFTAS Do Not Interact domain denylist has been updated.

This newly added domain(s) are identified as federating TVEC and explicit content based on human review.

If your service imports the IFTAS DNI denylist, please update accordingly.

⚠️ SW-ISAC Advisory

The domains below are open registration, and are hosting numerous spam accounts including a large number of the pro-Russian spam that we have been monitoring since late last year.

We are still waiting on responses from the relevant admins, and these domains are not being added to the AUD list at this time.

We recommend a mute, limit, or otherwise diminishing federation with these accounts in the meantime.

A gentle reminder: much like tech support, moderation is most visible when something goes wrong.

The vast majority of moderation work - unseen, unpaid, and often unacknowledged - quietly contributes to a safer, more welcoming experience for everyone.

There is no justification for careless or irresponsible moderation. At the same time, it is important to recognise that this network is sustained by thousands of volunteers who prevent the most harmful content from ever reaching you.

How you can help keep IFTAS going:

1. Spread the word: Raising awareness about our funding challenges can help us connect with potential funders, partners, and supporters.

Share our fundraising overview (https://about.iftas.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2024-2025-IFTAS-Overview.pdf).

We know most funders cannot move quickly, so for now, we are accepting pledges.

Boosts really help if you don't know anyone personally.
