Someone is littering openstreetmap with streets that do not exist. A Russian hacker is the cause and one other person.

Also someone is deleting powerlines that do exist in the real world.

The irony is that the vandal is ukrainian. Not helping their cause at all.

Someone already corrected this, but I guess whatever hacktivist is responsible is doing this for the Ukranian cause.

Reading the different streets littered on the map I saw (bad words ahead):

  • Russians f**k kids
  • 520 000 Russians died during the [Special Military Operation]
  • Russia die already
  • [Russian Central Bank] s**t everyone
  • Russians are monsters
  • Russia is a landfill
  • (you get the idea)
