Hello,
Over the past several days an individual has continued to attempt disruption of Wikimedia Services. The Wikimedia Foundation’s incident response processes are activated and countermeasures are in place. There have been a few times where brief service outages affecting Gerrit and Phabricator were necessary. We are working around the clock to safeguard all systems.
We are putting a series of countermeasures and protections in place to limit the potential impact of similar activity going forward. We aren’t at liberty to provide more detail right now without putting our efforts at risk, but will update you again when we can.
Please report any suspicious activity to security@wikimedia.org mailto:security@wikimedia.org.
Thank you!
Respectfully,
David Sharpe Senior Information Security Analyst Wikimedia Foundation
Really appreciate the hard work you guys put in.
