Why would he want that though, I don't know...
ETA: it’s not a theory, you said it yourself the other day on the wiz post. Also, I’m not Jewish.
Once a spammer, always a spammer.
Threat analysis? Maybe
HN has value larger than for just for the community of people commenting here. It is also used as a platform for YC companies. YC Founders can even see each others usernames in orange color[1].
A spamming actor could also be testing the limits of the system now for a future attack. Anyway, this is the job an Infosec team usually deals with. Hopefully @dang / HN team has access to people with such skillset.

It's probably as simple as 'Dan handles moderation and he's asleep'
