mondine is an unknown quantity at this point
Did you read the threads "Deleted posts from Book Forum and Games and Quizzes Forum" (the 'sticky' in this forum), and "The Longest Thread Ever" (the new one) in Games and Quizzes"?

That seems to be all that's generally known at this point, unless the admins want to divulge details about how a mod's computer was hacked. There may be good reasons for not doing that.

The topics are here. I suppose we should make it clear right now:

Google Community was NOT hacked.

Apparently, one of our moderators did not sufficiently secure their computer(s), and someone decided to delete some posts.

Darren should be able to fill you in on details beyond that, if you desire. As far as I know, there was no security breach as far as GC is concerned; all member info and passwords are secure, and posts outside of the forums that dude66 was moderating are safe.

Thanks for your understanding

Read the stickies on top of this forum, we'd rather continue this discussion on those threads.
