Yep, it was Len, and apparently he got restored same-day. He was set to "The Bomb" rank.
I went through and attempted to promote everyone who was "The Bomb" to a keyed rank, and any that did not succeed got demoted. There are no more "Bombs" in our roster, and I think it's time the rank went, too.
GUComics posted some limericks from a contest of theirs a couple weeks back that will probably hit home for those who keep getting hacked:

My password's are hack proof he stated.
Authenticator's just over-rated
His account's now been sold
with 50k gold
and his ego's been somewhat deflated.

A man took a long WoW sabbatical
Cuz his wife called him "nerdcore fanatical"
5 years to the day
He logged back in to play
But his toons were all stripped most dramatical.

Security's a tough game, it's true.
Don't wait 'til "it" happens to you.
Strong password protects,
AV software detects,
and code-bearing key-fob helps too!

With safety the guild master blundered,
"Is this a key logger?" he wondered,
Much to his dismay,
Just later that day,
His bank and all guild tabs were plundered.

I used to say "Authenticators are lame."
"Don't need that security for a game."
But then I fell for a scam,
and despite my toon's plans,
now all that he wears is his name.
