Clearly that is not the case. Tightening up security is not so simple all the time. There is a good chance that the measure to prevent this was in the queue to get fixed, but they hadn't gotten to it yet.

However, this attack may cause Wikia to shift priorities about what needs to be looked at first. The CS Wiki (and Half-Life Wiki) have been the subject of multiple attacks and vandalism but this is the worst I've seen. Other Wikis don't seem to have been badly affected.
