Of course, pulling something as stupid as this (Daniel Okin's AIM is '''Tokin84''' and Michelle Diamond's UNI is '''mnd2102''') on a Wiki doesn't answer the question of whether they want secrecy or attention more.

Vandalism attempts of 1 April 07

Shortly after midnight on 1 April 2007, after a partial list of members for the Sachems and Nacoms was created, WikiCU was hit by a seemingly coordinated vandalism attack by their members. The initial attack was at least kind of intelligent: two users first deleted all content from the pages, and then redirected the societies' pages to each other, creating an infinite redirect loop. Good SEAS thinking there!

About half an hour later, another user stepped in and tried just deleting pages.

The administrators quickly restored order and temporarily blocked the users.

Temporary block on Senior Socities, Nacoms, Sachems
