Royal Wiki hit by co-ordinated vandalism

The attack on the Mahusetan encyclopedia is thought unrelated to January's MicroWiki assault.

Mamucium, 8 June 2020 — The Royal Wiki suffered a co-ordinated vandal attack between 13 and 14 May, in which six accounts — one, “Jerome501”, responsible for the bulk of it — defaced a large number of the encyclopedia’s pages.

The attack began on 13 May with the creation of a page on the Mahusetan territory of Virgo and the defacing of the page on the Virgo dispute to carry pro-Nedlandic messages and to claim the area lay under Nedlandic control. It soon escalated: the content of pages was replaced with mockery of Mahusetan citizens — President Van der Huijsen above all — and of aspects of Mahusetan history, and many of the wiki’s images were re-uploaded in obscene or insulting versions.

Evidence strongly points to Ned Gunderson and a handful of others associated with the entities “Nedland” and “Blepia”. Gunderson is himself a former Mahusetan citizen, his citizenship having been revoked after a “raid” on the Mahusetan Discord server by individuals associated with Blepia. The attack is believed to be unrelated to the earlier vandalism of the intermicronational encyclopedia MicroWiki, which was falsely blamed on the president and Deputy Prime Minister Çakar by the MicroWiki administration and figures within the GUM.
