I just upgraded the wiki to tiki 10, which gives some better management tools, and was able to wipe out a few hundred spam pages. I'll hit the rest of them as soon as I can. I've disabled new user registration for the moment, I'll turn that back on this week.
I examined every page, but a couple of logic "orphan" pages under 7408 might have gotten hit in the crossfire. I have a DB backup, I can pull back the content if needed. --Russell On Dec 23, 2012, at 10:49 PM, Russell Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > The wiki got attacked again tonight.
