When a new web is created, the permissions are automatically rewritten to allow the creating user edit access to the preferences. Despite this, the _default web still has open access, making it a prime target for a spammer.

Close the permissions in the _default web down. Only the web creator has access.

_empty web too.

I assume this will close the original issue raised in Tasks.Item1415. (I am still interested in hearing comments on my suggestion about enhancing the web creation process; it would close a gap between web creation and setting access controls.)

Yes; see my remark in that item.
