"Hey guys, I'm seeing a ton of random ICQ connections flooding my list lately. Sometimes they disappear as quickly as they pop up, but other times I get flooded with like 10+ new connections in a matter of seconds. Anyone else experiencing this or could it be some kind of hack/"

"Hey guys, I've been noticing similar problems lately too. I think it's just a DDoS attempt, nothing to do with ICQ itself, just the usual crypto-targeted spam. Anyone else have any experience with a VPN or proxy to mask the IP?"

"Dude, I'm experiencing the same issue. It almost feels like some botnet is trying to overwhelm ICQ, but I'm not sure. Has anyone tried reaching out to the ICQ support team or a mod to see if they can help figure out what's going on?"

"Honestly, I've been getting these random ICQ spam floods too. They seem to come and go, and it's pretty annoying. Has anyone tried blocking the IP addresses or using a VPN to see if it makes a difference?"

"Lol same thing happened to me last night, was using ICQ for some old gaming connections and suddenly I had like a dozen random users pinging me nonstop. Not sure if it's a DDOS or just some spam bot, but ICQ support seems to be MIA on this one."
