This is unfortunate that Wikipedia is under attack. It seems as if there are more malicious actors now than, say, 5 years ago.

This may be unrelated but I also noticed more attacks on e. g. libgen, Anna's archive and what not. I am not at all saying this is similar to Wikipedia as such, mind you, but it really seems as if there are more actors active now who target people's freedom now (e. g. freedom of choice of access to any kind of information; age restriction aka age "verification" taps into this too).

Wikipedia is not under attack. Some stupid admin running with full privileges unsandboxed ran a test that grabbed and ran random user scripts, and one of them just happened to be this 2 year old malicious script.
