Simon, Thanks for looking at them. Fortunately there wasn't too many to fix mannually. Some of vandalism goes back 2 or 3 years if I recall correctly. I did check Canada thinking that they might have hit them as well, but other than some strange addresses on ways, it was clean.
Ian Dees did fixed the remaining of the problems. I plan to look at the original changesets to see if there is any clue which company was behind it. Do you know if I gave the systems admin people a list of user if they could check the email used to create the account belongs to one company?
