Hi,
Big thank you for this!
I believe this situation from earlier this year is connected:
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-se/2020-May/003876.html There
were hacked accounts importing one locality per changeset from bad data
sources. Those accounts were also hacked.
I’m not sure if anyone contacted DWG back then though.
Regards
Andreas
