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.

Maybe Bombs should be the rank of those who got hacked in the future (hopefully not gonna be many) but not yet restored, and obviously with no access.

Well, we already have "Stands in Fire" which has no GB access, and "Dorian" which has no G-chat access! :D

GUComics posted some limericks from a contest of theirs a couple weeks back that will probably hit home for those who keep getting hacked:

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.
