Bug #: 38333
Summary: Finding that account creations avoiding "Global
blocked IP addresses"
Product: Wikimedia
Version: 1.20wmf7
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: billinghu...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
For the second time in the day, I have identified two account creations that
seem to have circumvented two different global IP blocks. Both examples of
accounts created were on English Wikisource
Example 1 — account created 40 minutes after block imposed
The block
11:57, 10 July 2012: Billinghurst (meta.wikimedia.org) globally blocked
108.177.128.0/17 (expires on 10 July 2013 at 11:57)
Spambot created an account
GiseleLn (Talk | contribs | block) (Check) (00:37, 11 July 2012) [2]
(and the IP address was within the blocked range when searched)
Example 2 — account created nine hours after block imposed
The block
03:36, 11 July 2012: Billinghurst (meta.wikimedia.org) globally blocked
31.193.7.128/27 (expires on 11 July 2013 at 03:36)
Spambot created an account
Susana28 (Talk | contribs | block) (Check) (12:56, 11 July 2012) [2]
(and the IP address was within the blocked range when searched)
[Haven't looked to see whether this is occurring elsewhere, as that would be
very much a lucky dip exercise.]
