[Mediawiki-l] spam attack avoids captcha

[Hiram Clawson]

Good Morning MediaWiki Fans:

Our wiki site suffered a spam attack this weekend.  (version 1.13.0)  The attack evidently
had some method to work-around the new account Captcha barrier, and the
authorized user email allowed to edit setting.  I'm curious if anyone
else has encountered such attacks and if there are new ways to block
bogus account creation.
