An English Wikipedia admin account just got compromised and abused<\/a> again<\/i>, because the admin used “fuckyou” as a password<\/a>. That’s the sixth most common password<\/a>, I think. The main page was deleted for five minutes and Tubgirl<\/a> was put in the sitenotice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brion<\/a> and Greg<\/a> are (right now) running a password cracker over the admin accounts<\/a>. If you want to keep your admin bit and know, deep in your heart, that your password is a bit rubbish, I strongly suggest changing it or it will<\/i> be locked.
