I have deleted the attachments (perhaps prematurely), but I'm not
certain what other steps should be taken to deal with this user.
I'll say! I didn't even get a chance to check them out ;-)
The less time they're up, the less effective they are. :-)
Seriously, thanks removing this junk! Although perhaps it might
have been useful to leave them until someone from INFRA has had
a chance to look at them in case they contain information that
could be used to prevent this type of spam in the future. (I've
seen the same thing happen to GCC Bugzilla not so long ago so
this is not a unique incident.)
This possible utility to the INFRA group was why I noted that the
deletion may have been premature.
Martin (or any of our mentors), can you provide any thoughts on what
steps should be taken next - and what the correct course of action on
my part would have been?
I think we need to contact INFRA and alert them to the problem.
Let me know if you're prepared to do it.
