Folks - I'm not exactly understanding the LoTW comments on this thread.
If it is referring to the LoTW screen shot totals listed by OK1RD on his
website then that is the combined totals in his DXCC record, not the
totals confirmed solely via LoTW so a "hack" has not necessarily
occurred.
Regardless, there is convincing evidence some bogus QSL cards were
reviewed and accepted by a DXCC card checker somewhere and then entered
into his DXCC record!

Guys this was probably done by OK1RD to embarrass ARRL/DXCC, in
retaliation
for ARRL (correctly) removing his bogus listing over 10 years ago. He
probably found a way to hack LOTW and no human monitored the result.
I'm
sure they will correct the listing but it does raise some serious
issues
about the security of their system.
