Web browser: --- 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.] -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
