I've already touched on this with the sys admins and saved refs to the ones that I fixed. However it is unlikely that we will do any thing with the information as the accounts are extremely unlikely to be reused, and on the other hand, given that we have a known US based SEO company that has created (literally) 1000s of such accounts (but with slightly less spammy edits), and "we" haven't taken any action, why should we in this case?
