Putting this here cause I'm not sure where it goes, but I figured I'd like to get thoughts on both the efficacy of the current platform in 2021, and whether or not actually changing hosts would have impacted something like this.
Wikidot's servers are in Poland which is probably why they got hit, so having our own host would probably have not caused this specific hack to happen, but I'm curious how security is going to work if/when the wiki changes hosts. Mandatory SSL is obvious but beyond that I'm wondering how much has been thought of regarding the rest of it, password and database security and the like.
Also regardless of what the wikidot admins say here's a good reminder to change your account passwords for here folks.
