(cross-post with forum) Hi,
over the last couple of weeks, over 90.000 changesets have been made by 45 different accounts, performing an undiscussed, low-quality Lantmäteriet import (many small bits of tracks or minor roads, unconnected to each other and the rest of the network). Several members of the Swedish OSM community have made the DWG aware of this issue. The worst thing about this is that many of the accounts used have been hacked - they are accounts of people normally editing elsewhere on the planet, with different editors, in different languages, and certainly not importing Lantmäteriet. Not only is this a slap in the face for all of our hard working volunteers trying to make the best map in Sweden; it is also a crass violation of trust (and very likely also a violation of Swedish law). We (at DWG) are still investigating who is behind this. This is more than just the usual bad import, this is someone who has enough criminal energy to hack into other accounts in an attempt to fly under the radar. We have blocked the accounts involved (a list of accounts we have identified is below). If you know anything that might help us determine the identity of this hacker, please let us know at [email protected]. We're planning to revert the import in the coming days.
