Yeah, there was a bad bit of vandalism recently. The data was quickly restored though. This is not too different from vandalism on Wikipedia, but instead of facts getting mangled, navigation can be impacted. Odd that that company hit one of the bits of map which was impacted though; the chance of anyone actually hitting the bad data seems quite small (as in, lottery jackpot winning small).

> the chance of anyone actually hitting the bad data seems quite small (as in, lottery jackpot winning small). I saw it on a small cycling site that uses OSM's tiles. I was surprised and checked OSM's site for this French back-country and a few random places, and the offensive messages were still there. Even if the vandalism was purged after a few (dozens of) minutes, I suppose there were more witnesses across this short period than winners of lottery jackpots across this century.

  If company runs 24/7 deliveries it's really not hard to hit the vandalized time interval
