Account hacked?

I've been away from DU for a few days. I just logged on and got a message that a post of mine had been removed for violating the rules. The post in question wasn't posted by me.

I wonder if the hacker did manage to get some passwords, after all. I just changed mine.

I thought it was a strange one form you. I have 'known' you for a long time and it wasn't like you at all, and the placement in the Lounge was even stranger. To be sure to send something directly to the admins.

Or dogs or other animals.

We were out of town for the weekend. I had only sporadic access to DU. We did have someone doing some housesitting, but I don't suspect her. And in any case, my computer was turned off and password protected.
