Any MoinMoin based wiki gets many attempts to have it defaced, that
has nothing to do with Sage. In case of the vandalism you suggested
Sage had something to do with:
* 193.53.87.109 is from an Indian IP space
* 78.157.143.233 is from a Latvian IP space
and I doubt anybody needs Sage to write a Spam bot in Python - if it
even were written in Python. But having posted the url here and in
other newsgroups to let people know it exists has only raise its
profile with spammers. Such is life on the internet :)

Disabled automated account creation and turn on the text captcha. Just
because a spam bot uses a category X it has nothing to do with X. It
seems kind of counter productive to be associated with the culprit in
the first place. If *I* were to write a Sage spambot I would have it
claim to be MMA as a diversion tactic ;)
