*On 14 March 2018, evidence of cryptocurrency mining software was
discovered on Persian Wikipedia. It was identified by the community and
removed within 10 minutes of being added to the site. Additionally, the
rights of the user responsible have been revoked and their account has been
globally locked. At this time there is no evidence of any user's computer
or account being compromised or otherwise affected. However, we encourage
everyone to take some routine steps to maintain a secure computer and
account - including regularly changing your passwords, actively running
antivirus software on your systems, and keeping your system software up to
date. The Wikimedia Foundation's Security team is investigating this
incident as well as potential improvements to prevent future incidents. If
you have any questions, please contact the Security team

only posting in English, translating and reposting in Fārsi would be
greatly appreciated.Thanks,John Bennett*
