A mass of spammy links pointing to our domain from dynu.net

Hi MOZ community!

Need some help with some strange activity on the link profile of a website I manage...

I have noticed since the 4th of August a mass of links pointing to one of our domains. It looks like some kind of attack from dynu.net. I am seeing 100s of different subdomains from this website in the Discovered and Lost area, with DA 1. They are linking to us from very low quality pages with no CSS, that includes just random text.

Anybody seeing anything similar or from the same website?  Our links report example: https://imgur.com/a/y7pAopJ

Also, what is the correct process to deal with such instances? We have used Google's disavow in the past, but I have read that Google are quite proactive at recognizing spammy links, and webmasters don't really need to use that tool.

Much appreciated!

I would just disavow to be careful. Who wants to keep looking over their shoulder .

Hello!

You can likely just ignore them, as Google is most likely just ignoring them (they are not helping nor hurting).

If you are nervous though, just keep a close on the rankings and search traffic for your site, and specifically the pages the links are pointing to. If you don't see a huge ranking/traffic change the links are for sure not affecting you.

If you really want to be extra careful, you can simply just disavow the domain with the disavow tool. if for some weird reason the links are helping you, you might notice a drop in ranking, which you can just undo by removing the domain from your disavow file.
