Greetings, all,
I discovered last night that some kind of spam bot has been designed to
exploit the fact that you can request an account from Jira automatically
and then use it to comment on existing issues. Thus, there were a bunch of
issues in our system that had comments with links to porn sites and so
forth. The Jira folks are aware of this:
<http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRASPAM/JIRA+Spam>
I spent about an hour trying to clean up our issue database and also
prevent this from occurring in the future. In the process, I messed up
some permissions and prevented you from logging in (Julie and Hongbing
already emailed me on this.) I think I've fixed it now. (Hongbing, I've
changed your password for testing purposes; you'll need to regenerate it.)
Let me know if anyone is still having problems.
Cheers,
Philip
