Summary: AntiSpoof not working?
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: AntiSpoof
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Dear developers,
In the mediawiki page "Extension:Antispoof" I can read that AntiSpoof is an
extension for preventing confusable usernames from being created; yet spoofed
usernames are still being created. Recent examples:
Legitimate user | Spoofed user
--------------------------------
Laura Fiorucci | Låura Fiorucci
Lucien leGrey | Lucien le6rey
Poco a poco | Poco a ƿoco
Comae | Comæ
Sabbut | ЅаЬЬцт
BetoCG | ВетоС6
etc.
Those usernames above have been part of a recent impersonation campaign at
eswiki (all the accounts were created there and tryied to impersonate the above
named bureaucrats - see logs/SUL/etc.). Something should be done to prevent
this IMHO.
Regards.
