[Systems] Wiki spam attack.

[Samuel Cantero]

Chris do you have the usernames? That could be of help.

If I recall correctly, lately the only way to get a wiki user is requesting
one.

Over time there has been a lot of GCI wiki users. Maybe some of them could
have weak passwords. Just guessing.

I guess I can look into it also this Saturday.

Best regards,

Samuel C.
