The thread at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents/Tony_Sidaway#Break:_checkuseris
very disturbing. SlimVirgin seems to have inside knowledge from the
Checkuser Logs of which users Lar has been running checks on. The only way
she could have obtained this knowledge is if there is either a leak on the
Checkuser-L list or if someone with access to the Checkuser logs told her.

What is being done to plug this leak? If it came from a CheckUser or
developer that person should be sacked immediately.

SV should be required to say how she got this information and if she refuses
she should be blocked until she becomes co-operative.

This sort of security breach is completely unacceptable and intolerable.
