A genius that rewrote Wikipedia to break through security and reached behind the scenes appeared

ByJohann Dreo

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but the act of rewriting the contents by exploiting its operation method is often done. In Australia, people who broke behind the scenes show up behind the scenes by rewriting the Wikipedia of their favorite artists and live guards.

Melbourne resident doctor David Spargo said Australian music unitPeking DukHe was a big fan of Peking Duk and he came up with a way to break into the dressing room by editing the page of Wikipedia when I was about to finish playing. Mr. Spargo initially thought that this plan would not work.

Mr. Spargo first wrote his name on "Peking Duk's Wikipedia page" as "a fellow brother of Mr. Reuben Styles, a band member". Subsequently, Mr. Spargo headed behind the scenes said that when he told the security guards that he was a member of the family, he told the security guard "show proof of Mr. Styles' family." So, Mr. Spargo showed Peking Duk's Wikipedia page on a smartphone and appealed that his name was on the family section. The guards seemed to have passed Mr. Spargo behind the scenes without any doubt.

Mr. Spargo greeted the band members after successfully penetrating behind the scenes, but Peking Duk two people are more curious about the way Spargo invaded behind the scenes than the security vulnerability of the live venue It seems that it was. Peking Duk said he did not get angry at Mr. Spargo's acts, and both went home after drinking beer.


Styles of Peking Duk said, "I've heard the most genius and clever plans I have ever heard, because I just broke through security by just editing Wikipedia with a smartphone in a matter of seconds." I have commented on it. Another member, Adam Hyde, says "Please do not trust Wikipedia too much".

Although the relevant Wikipedia page has already been corrected, it seems that Spring's name was engraved as "Legend (legend)" in the member's family field immediately after the live.
