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
