> the osm letter didn't mention exactly what happened.

What do you mean? It's quite clear what happened. Someone logged into OSM, they edited the "place node" for New York and changed the name.

That is what I thought, but you replied saying that he made other edits ... What happened? Did he just change the title (not so bad) or did he do something worse?

They changed the name of some other things. Roads in New York being renamed after a certain dictator with a small moustach. That kind of thing.
