I am pretty much this was because of fat fingers, but how an earth there's no security measures for this kind of thing? It's 2020 already and after seeing this kind of mistakes, i am pretty sure that ETH adoption is further away. Just one warning message informing about the possible huge mistake could have saved millions for this guy.

shit happens i guess... It isn't the first time tough... For example: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/258478e8b7a3b78301661e78b4f93a792af878b545442498065ab272eaacf035
(there are many, many more... And this one is defenately not the biggest screw-up)

I guess it's the wallet's task to check if a fee isn't outrageous, but i have no idear which popular wallets actually do a quick feecheck before broadcasting a transaction

yeah, but this one was in 2013, so the 80 BTC was much, but not that much as this one today
i would say that it is user responsibility to check fees, but wallet should present at least a warning message that fee is too high for that transaction, guess that lucky ones do not have enough ETH to make mistake like this one, and why the hell someone is using wallet with that much ETH to send 0,55 ETH to anyone?
