The long-term success of that depends on the tenacity of the authors, and
whether they revisit and just edit them back in again --- the perennial
problem with content that is editable by anybody.
Actually, I'm very surprised that the Swiki pages have not previously been
defaced. Now that the Swiki has been found, I would expect to see an
increasing number of attacks once this particular person tells his [I
assume] mates about it and the information spreads. Whilst I'm well aware
that it *may* be an isolated case, we may wish to plan how to 'harden' a
Swiki against this kind of attack. Not easy, as the usual trade-off between
freedom and security raises its head almost immediately.
