Yeah that sucks, I've also encountered spam like this, and it ain't all sourced via a Pingback, see https://brainbaking.com/post/2022/04/fighting-webmention-and-pingback-spam/. I "solved" this by blacklisting/whitelisting and a moderation queue but I have my own webmention server implementation. I honestly always get a little upset when people say "just unplug pingbacks"---I've had a few genuinely good interactions through that, and every Wordpress user automatically has support for that as opposed to Webmentions. Disabling something does not fix the spammers.
