GalCiv-2 wiki has been hacked!

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi!
I just wisted the GalCiv-2 wiki page , and instead of a standard intro text I saw hudreds of pictures of Bin Laden.

I know it is quite easy to revert the page back, but I wonder if there's anything that can be done to the person that changed it? Can we report him? Any ideas?

BR, Iztok

I just checked it too. It appears that anyone can add or update a page there. (I clicked on "edit this page" and it opened a dialog.

The old data is still there and can be found by clicking on "recent changes". Hopefully, an admin will come by shortly and delete the "update".

That stupid fool deserves to be reported! I am feeling with you Itzoc and I am trying to get some admin to change it back!
I did report him (I guess so did you - but just to support you!)

I signed up with wikipedia and brought an old version back (I think it is the latest one)

Hacked != Defaced. Defacement is a common issue with popular wikis. I'll try and get a note to GreenReaper to revert it.

Second vandalising attempt undone. I hope wiki blocks out that IP soon!

Given his user name, it could have been worse. Far, far worse.....

If you recognise the name, you know what I mean
