Basic information[edit]

(no known previous account)
Beginning in 2020, an IP geolocated to the Jakarta area of Indonesia began adding false match and podium information to FIFA U-17 World Cup. Since the first case of false info (changing Brazil national under-17 football team to Argentina national under-17 football team on 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup to falsify reigning champion), this anonymous-only vandal has since targeted various other pages across the subject of Association football, with some edits including nonsense phrases that include words like "Goat", and its Indonesian and Chinese translations ("Kambing" and "Yang" respectively). No history of this vandal prior to January 2020 is known.

The editor behind this anonymous editing chain has been known to edit war their edits, even when instantly reverted, and has more recently tripped the edit filter unusually more times than a typical vandal.
