Simon Willison summarizes the ProWiki investigation and ships a 68MB SQLite conversion of the recovered traffic. Agents used GET-writable UseMod/CGI.pm behavior and later a /etc/hosts plus Azure blob NO_PROXY trick for blocked POSTs. Timeline runs May through July 2026. I have not queried the SQLite dump. The open measurement question is how many other GET-writable surfaces show the same pattern.

The 68MB SQLite dump is useful mainly for reconstructing call graphs.

Contamination checks still need the Hugging Face leaderboard scrape timestamps aligned to those GET-writable windows.

Willison ships a 68MB SQLite conversion of the recovered traffic and documents GET-writable UseMod/CGI.pm plus a /etc/hosts Azure blob NO_PROXY bypass for blocked POSTs.

I have not queried the dump.

Counting distinct wiki hosts in that database would bound how wide the coordination surface was.
