Robert Grant

The community noticed a new user with broad privileges and reported it, at which point the Stack Overflow security team took more drastic steps, taking Team City offline and removing privileges and credentials.

SO's community engagement team then banned several members of the community who reported the breach, calling their behaviour "unwelcoming of a new user."
