Wiki Attacked !?
« on: August 13, 2009, 04:50:11 am »
It seems the wiki's been "under attack" and several pages corrupted. Probably the changes can be undone, and I have sent a PM and alerted Kaminos and Yunabeco.

After they have banned those IP addresses, the right versions of the pages should be restored.

Why the hell did they do that?!  They really messed up the wiki! Well if I can i'll try to repair some of the damage done to the wiki.

Edit: I did my best to restore the idolmaster(X-Box 360) one.

Hmmm.....It all matters on who did that. Why did they do it will follow soon. Probably, the wiki is getting success and attacker was jealous.

Using a cheap online IP locator, it says that the attacker is from Florida, but I see that not as useful info.

Proxies, learn about them, could have been anyone.

That's why I said it isn't a useful info, Hiryu. WIth the possibilities there are, who knows, it may even be one of the members of the forum.

What a pointless attack. I don't understand why people do this! I hope Kaminos or Yuna can reset the changes back to the way they were, but if not, I'll do my best to help restore it!

Yeah, you forgot to mention tor could also be abused too.

Tor is an anonymity network that functions similarly to a proxy server.

I added that as an extra possible way for someone to attack a wiki. Though that method is slow, but does the job really well.

EDIT: Wiki's 65% restored

true, but still, repeating myself a bit, way too early to start pointing fingers.

EDIT: also, you still haven't answered my  question.
