Return of the Wiki asshole.



A couple of weeks ago, I opened up the RollerWiki again. I quietly removed the security and hoped for the best. A number of people have been making small additions, corrections, and other good things but tonight I found that the whole front page was replaced with this: 
This Website Has Been Hacked By KingSerb

KingSerb@linuxmail.org - synx_10@hotmail.com
"Check Mate, Admin !"

GreeTz: SCriptX, GUL7, OffSet, JuXta, El Matador.

Pretty funny. This guy thinks editing a wiki page qualifies as hacking a website? What an idiot. According to the revision history the attacker's IP is 207.44.154.35.

That certainly rates a 10 on the funny scale.

It certainly seems that WikiTrolls are especially keen after the front page. Wikipedia had to lock down the front page, because people kept putting pictures of giant penises on it. On jspwiki.org, most of the damage done is always to the front page as well. Rarely on other pages.
