Weird "Book-Eating Black Hole" entry inserted into collection

I noticed something weird that showed up in my books collection. It was an entry for a book "Book-Eating Black Hole" by Thomas P. McCarthy CSV. It appears to be a totally fake entry with bogus information attached to it. I definitely did not enter this into my collection and I don't think it was there a week ago.

Does anyone know if this is an indication of a hack of LibraryThing or someone just compromising my account in some way?

Anyone see this before?

Thanks.

LibraryThing tries to automatically combine each newly entered book with an existing work. You've unfortunately hit a bug where the combination is done incorrectly. The Black Hole doesn't eat everything, but it ate your book.

If you go to the work, and select Editions in the left column, you should be able to find your book and separate it from the Black Hole.

Neither.

If you read the disambiguation notice, you'll see what the black hole is, and why it happens. If there's an entry in your catalog that doesn't have a title or an author (which most often happens because of an occasional bug with importing from KB or Bol/Bruna; this has been a problem for about nine months now, with no sign of getting fixed), it will get attached to this work. Your best option is to delete this book from your catalog, and re-add it from a different source so that it has the title and author.

Thanks for this. Good to know. Must have been a glitch in the continuum so I have deleted it.

Wow, for some reason LT thinks that I would rather dislike this book with a very high probability. Who wouldn't want to read and like a nonbook? heh

Really popular nonbook, eh? 14,488 members own a copy. With an overal rating of 3.81 and with 30 reviews.

Let us see, it is . . . A Have Read First Import of an Owned book in den 3, a fictional nonfiction history mystery about children's christmas in europe. A fantasy about a freedom school that is about theology and filled with pictures. Oh, and a bleached busniess biography about Caldecott.

Here's a thread on the issue:

That plus the links from the thread should give you a reasonably complete picture of what's going on.
