[Novalug] [OT] Google group security problem

I have a couple of google groups. One of them is a group where members 
need to be approved by me. It is world viewable. Only members can post.

Today I went to approve a new member application and found a web ad for a 
pornography site had replaced my introductory page to the group.

Also I had a few recent members that I had not approved to join. I have 
marked them as not being able to post and I deleted the pornography ad.

Actually it is not that I am especially touchy about pornography, I 
would be distressed if any ad with links replaced my 
introductory page.

My other groups seem to be untouched.

I am wondering if anyone else on this list has had a similar problem with 
a google group they own.
