I must say, the entire débacle seems most unprofessional and not particularly well managed. We should not even be in this situation at present, nevermind trying to figure out the best response.
We're not professional. Except for a tiny bunch of people who work for the Foundation, we're all volunteers and our time is not especially coordinated. Wikipedia is what it is, and part of that is that we've grown faster than our organization has.
In particular, our IT resources have always been stretched, and the people we do have have been busy keeping the place running. In a stretched organization, things only get fixed when they become real problems.
All I'm surprised about is that it took this long for someone to try some serious password attempts.
