#5082 FAmNA Trac spammed by hacked FAS accounts
Closed: Fixed None Opened 8 years ago by jflory7.

= phenomenon =
It appears either a few spambots were able to get past automated checks in FAS or a few accounts were breached and abused by hackers. These accounts were used to exploit and spam inappropriate advertisements on the FAmNA Trac.

Ordered by Ticket URL (FAS username):

= recommendation =

  • Accounts should be either deleted or sent a password reset email
  • FAmNA Trac tickets should be purged and deleted to prevent search engines associating those words with Fedora

These accounts actually already have been disabled (They spammed another trac also)

I have deleted these tickets. Anyone with trac-admin should be able to do so...

Thanks for letting us know.
