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(a)wikimedia.org
<mailto:security@wikimedia.org>.
Thank you!
Respectfully,
David Sharpe
Senior Information Security Analyst
Wikimedia Foundation
