OpenStreetMap (OSM) representatives reported yesterday that miscreants originating from a Google IP address in India had extensively vandalized OSM — a Google spokesperson has since informed us that two contractors had acted "on their own behalf while on the Google network," and that they are no longer working on projects. OSM says that the vandals moved and deleted information from the system, and made subtle-but-devious changes, like reversing the direction of one-way streets.
