Ok folks... We had the worst [[vandalism]] attack where some stupid idiot claiming to be a certain user of [[Wikipedia]] posted the "F"-word repeatedly and excessively all over the place in between 5:42 and 5:46 [[w:GMT]] [[August 25]] [[2005]]. How creative. Luckily our backups were up-to-date and I was able to restore the whole site from a backup made yesterday. Let's hope this sort of idiocy doesn't repeat too often. There is a lesson to be learned from this. I made a change in the database should prohibit redirection anywhere outside of Consumerium development wiki, because the [[vandal]] used this possibility to make her/his identity claim seem, umm, like, more credible. --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 15:48, 25 Aug 2005 (GMT)

Repeated the attack on [[August 26]] from a different IP then last time (the old IP was blocked, but this does not show as the database was again restored from a back-up)

===August 27 2005===
Propably the same vandal. A different username this time because I seized the account he was using previously. The [[interwiki]] [[redirect]]ion trick worked, because I forgot to disable it in the DB after the last db restore from [[MySQL dump]]
