Spammers in Wiki >-(

Could it be that spammers are now even creating whole wiki pages?! >-(
Wanted to finally add the foreign-language updates for KM75.1, and after a long absence took a look into the wiki again. And finding a whole new page among the Updated Pages:

http://kmeleonbrowser.org/wiki/SearchLock
IMO that is pure spam, and definitely does not belong there. It just links to Facebook.
Anyone block/delete it??

Sigh, better not start imagining again all the unwatched, possible malware links in it... sad smiley

Cannot edit wiki - it sends me to login and then to an old bugtracker.

So I just wonder - how do the spambots get into to make their spamedit?

Can spammers be stupid enough to use their real email?
He really looks like an idiot though.

EDIT: @rodocop, try deleting the cookies
EDIT2: found more on the welcome page, deleted them

Another one, sigh. Has been there for a long time:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/wiki/Resources

offtopic:
What I keep worrying: what if SF kicks us out or just completely closes some day suddenly? Is there any independent backup of forum and wiki...?

I admit that I stopped looking into the wiki for unwanted changes every day when Dorian resumed development. Changed it (http://kmeleonbrowser.org/wiki/Resources) to the last known good.
