Edit: It seems the user has confirmed my suspicions by deleting their GitHub account. I have attached a screenshot of it below.
\nEdit2: The user wjbmatrix68 (DancingLikeLink) has now deleted their account, along with the #8 and #13 teams.
\nEdit3: GitHub account was not deleted, but just renamed. Their largest repository has also been made private.
\nBefore: https://awesomeopensource.com/project/wjbKimberly/cs231n_spring_2017_assignment
\nAfter: https://github.com/tlatlbtle
\nFinal edit: MSM has now been removed from the private leaderboard.
@underwearfitting mentioned the prefix of the names of members of two teams were identical in this thread here, and seeing solid investigative work in SIIM-ISIC Melanoma against possible cheaters, decided to investigate further. The two members mentioned by Sin particular are wjbkimberly (username is helloworldgadf) and dancingLikeLink (username is wjbmatrix68). Remember these two names. They are on two different teams, current the #1 team, and the current #5 team.

Correlation does not imply causation, and this evidence is far from conclusive - I am merely trying to point out a possible scenario that should be looked into further by Kaggle.
