Job Board Spammed
Well, that didn't take long. Yesterday, I posted a wiki job board on Lawfare so that people who are hiring in the field of national security law could reach those looking for work in the field. I expected that eventually, we would need to clean up some spam, but who knew that within 24 hours, the entire page would be replaced with spam?

Well, that didn't take long. Yesterday, I posted a wiki job board on Lawfare so that people who are hiring in the field of national security law could reach those looking for work in the field. I expected that eventually, we would need to clean up some spam, but who knew that within 24 hours, the entire page would be replaced with spam? As a test run for our wiki document library project, it strongly suggests that we will need a good system of user authentication for those wanting to post material and edit the wiki. As of today, I am password protecting the job board---with apologies to all those this will inconvenience.
