Well, now someone attempted to maliciously unsubscribe me from the mailing list, and the IP address who performed the action matches that of the IP address displayed in the lower right hand corner of the "Hacked by" screen when attempting to access Referata. (Never noticed that until now). The alleged hacker has outed themselves and has posted their IP publicly in their Hacked message. I also note that the username of the alleged hacker listed matches that of a previous username (before global rename) of a now globally-locked and enwiki-banned WMF user. -- Amanda On Sunday, May 5, 2019, 5:37 PM, Martin Urbanec <martin.urbanec(a)wikimedia.cz> wrote: Oh yeah, that's probably because the list sends on your behalf, and yahoo has very strict policy on who can do that :(.  Martin On Sun, 5 May 2019 at 23:19, Amanda Quad <amandaquad(a)yahoo.com> wrote: For some reason, the Wikimedia mailing lists have a notorious reputation of not liking Yahoo email addresses. *shrugs* Anyway, the provider is still down/appears dead. It is seriously looking like we may have lost another free MediaWiki host, since usually when Referata goes down its only for an hour or two, usually even less. -- Amanda On Sunday, May 5, 2019, 5:07 PM, Martin Urbanec <martin.urbanec(a)wikimedia.cz> wrote: Hi Amanda,  for your information, all your emails are going to spam on my end.

CC'ing Yaron Koren who I believe is the lead sysadmin of the service. If we have indeed lost another free MediaWiki host, I will definitely say that it is a major setback and has the potential to impact many poeple. Too many free MediaWiki hosts have either died, had a change of management and are now ad-spammed, and/or have become pay-only services. -- Amanda _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
