Hi all,

The vandalism I saw showed up in the repo log as "Edited from the web 
interface" or similar. Based on this I think it was someone with 
contributor rights or someone with access to the account of a contributor 
was making changes. The changes are visible in wiki history and seemed to 
me to point to non-existent URLs so it didn't seem malicious. 

For this reason I revoked all contributor rights. The only account I 
didn't/couldn't revoke is the "mercurialeclipse" owner account. Does 
someone have access to that account and can confirm the password is secure? 
 Bastian, is that you?

All contributors, please add 2 factor authentication to your bitbucket 
account.

Lastly, someone mentioned the current update site jar files were getting 
blocked by an antivirus. If someone could confirm that is a false positive 
and/or come up with different ideally transparent way of building the 
update site I would appreciate it and it would allow us to add the update 
site URL back to the wiki page.

Cheers,
John
