Yep, today I have seen a dozen or more instances of some account from some obscure server making their only post with just a picture of a spam can.

Those are only the ones that go through, I am sure there is probably a lot more than the ones I saw.

And if you go to the website that the picture is from, the page is a string of text that isn't in a spoken language or a common programming language. So the image is to make you think that it just a silly picture, when it is actually probably something pretty nefarious.

Yesterday, they seemed to always tag a warframe community.
