Massive leak on Wikimedia sites

[Bbb23sucks]

Recently, I successfully managed to leak hundreds of gigabytes of sensitive information from Wikimedia sites. Including millions of deleted articles, tens of millions of deleted revisions, and (!!!) hundreds of thousands of overnighted revisions.

Given the sheer scale of the data, it's going to take me some time to release it all publicly. So far, I've created a demo for meta.wikimedia.org: https://unoversight.netlify.app/metawiki

In the coming weeks, I plan to release the rest of it. First English Wikipedia, then hopefully the rest of the WMF wikis.

All right....show us the articles called

Daniel Brandt
Gregory Kohs
Judd Bagley
Ryung doll
Rainy doll

Probably could think of a few others with time.

And here's a deleted revision to show us.

Plus, the numerous oversights from the history of Andrew Landeryou might be good for amusement.

Update: It got taken down and I was banned by the hosting provider. I'll try to find somewhere else to host it.

This is very big if true. Normally the Distributed Denial of Secrets organization is a good place to go because they regularly receive and archive leaks from various hacking operations, most notably the Anonymous #OpUkraine hacks. Leaks like that also tend to last a bit longer on darkweb forums like Nulled and Patched although they're not forever since they tend to get seized by the authorities in the long run.

Just as a clear note: On a personal capacity I do not officially endorse the leak(s) at all due to the obvious illegality and because of the possibility that it will inadvertently backfire on us.

Did David Shankbone ever have an article?

As someone who's a bit familiar with cybersec stuff among others, including MCU and true crime, the most likely mode of compromise IMO is database misconfiguration resulting to exposure in the likes of Shodan and Censys, followed by undiscovered vulnerabilities in MediaWiki codebases like memory bugs.

Artist impressions of how HTD might look like.


Then here's an artistic impression of the unleashing of Wiki Encyclopedic Multiverse.

Whoever created that Mastodon account, using my email? It got banned. Nice work.
Apparently it's no longer permitted to criticize WP on Mastodon servers.
