Yes, but my point is a little deeper than that. It says, "Everyone is
welcome to read, but to avoid misuse only YubiKey users can edit." So,
the implication is that spammers went out of their way to buy a Yubikey.
I have to ask myself, would spammers actually buy a device in order to
advertise a paper mill on a security system's wiki? It seems somewhat
unlikely. If not the yubikey system--as implemented on Yubico's own
site--doesn't actually appear to be working.

BTW. Here is a higher level link:
