Could hackers be involved in some of these blog deletions?

Here is one blogger's account of what happened to his blog, the steps Google/Blogger took, and the conclusion he came to:

Kudos to Blogger...?

I woke up this morning and to my surprise couldn´t log in to my Gmail which usually happens automatically. Instead, I got a message that my Google Account was suspended and I needed to verify that I´m the owner. They then sent me a text message on my cell phone which made me realize that something weird was going on as they couldn´t possibly be spending all that money to send text messages to millions of phones around the world.

Once I accessed my account I found a bunch of worried emails asking me where my blog had gone. Apparently it´s back online now as the site meter is chugging on happily, and I suspect that someone may have tried to hijack my blog but Google intervened to save my perverted porn... If that´s the case, my opinion on Blogger went up a couple of notches (and truth to be told, I´be been quite pleased by the way the program has been working lately).

Thanks for your concern guys and gals!
