The three questions that come to mind are: 1) Which version of MediaWiki are you running? 2) Have you installed any extensions? 3) Is there a chance that someone's modified your copy of MediaWiki? I'd assume a poorly programmed trojan (password stealing utility) might cause the type of symptoms you're describing.
