Suspected sockpuppets
(Requesting CU for named accounts, behavioral investigation for IPs)

This is regarding disruption on SecurityScorecard and suspected sockpuppetry.

The original article was already highly promotional, and was written by Infosecwiki and Pcf222. This was noticed and cleaned up by multiple editors, who all agreed that it was written by someone who has a close connection to the subject and is biased. A while later now, 191.241.248.250 made a few edits to only this article, to add spam links. Zekosta then did the same, and ignored warnings regarding this.

This is also a fairly niche subject. I find it unlikely that 4 entirely unrelated people joined together to promote the subject around the same time.

Aside from whether or not there's enough evidence to justify a check, since  is, running a check on  and  will not return any comparable data. Hence I have not done so, and . .  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   16:42, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
