Forum Wiki Post unofficially changed

Earlier on today, I received an e-mail warning stating that a WCG Wiki post that I'd updated in August last year ( What do the "Cruncher" titles I see in the forum mean? ) had been unofficially changed by an unregistered userid with an i/p address of 193.164.135.2 - to one advertising 'free MTV, MP3 and Movies downloads'.

I've now changed it back to the original state - so really, this is just FYI warning that other pages may have been altered/spam attacked.

Re: Forum Wiki Post unofficially changed

Thanks for sharing. There's an option in the Wiki to list all changes over a selected period over all pages. Occasionally I visit, but lacking any communal input, there's very very little in change observed. Who's game to give it a fresh swing? There's that Science Timeline page for instance and the badges page that is a near year behind ;>)

Re: Forum Wiki Post unofficially changed

Thanks Jean Pierre, that does tie in with the kind of activity I saw on that page.

Sekerob, I'll certainly have a look at refreshing those other pages you've referred to - after all, now that a certain company has made me redundant, I've got a bit more time on my hands (that is, in between job hunting) biggrin

Re: Forum Wiki Post unofficially changed

BTW, IP addresses can be blocked. Report to WIKIA admin!

gb009761, yes, it used to be lifetime employment, like a civil servant in Italy. Advance appreciation for any time you can spend of knocking the ''official'' wiki back into more currency ;>)

thanks

Re: Forum Wiki Post unofficially changed

Thanks Randzo for spotting that. I've now changed it back AGAIN and reported the issue - thing is, this time, it was altered by a different i/p address... I hope this doesn't become a regular occurance...

Re: Forum Wiki Post unofficially changed

Grrrr.... this is becoming a bit of a pain - as this Wiki page has been unofficially altered again (this time, by yet another ip address).

The first two have been reported (and blocked), although as I'm visiting some family over the weekend, I won't have a chance to report it or to check/ensure that this page remains as it's supposed to be...

As of this moment, the page is back as it should be, but going by the past couple of days, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that it's been spammed again on my return...

Re: Forum Wiki Post unofficially changed

gb009761,
There is something strange with this Wiki: although I see your change as the most recent one in the history list I am still seeing the WMC spam, whatever I am trying including Ctrl-R and Ctrl-F5.
It looks like your undo is not effective immediately? confused

Re: Forum Wiki Post unofficially changed

JmBoullier, having just clicked on the link in my first post, it does show the Cruncher title info - so I'm not quite sure what's happening here...

As indicated above, I'm not now supposed to be here (oops - running late again), so I'm hoping that the (wrong) version you're seeing, will clear itself. Perhaps if other users could check to see what they're seeing. If they're also seeing this WMC spam stuff, then there's something wrong with the Wiki (or it's been spammed again), but if not, then it must be something with your computer (sorry).

When I return (late Monday evening/early Tuesday), I'll investigate further - along with reporting that (and any other) rogue i/p addresses that may have tampered with our info.
