That's probably the malicious coordinator: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5499439.msg64308723#msg64308723.

Why can't the client, by default, not allow joining a coordinator with these ridiculous settings?

That's the point I was telling Kruw. It might take time before some people/groups running those coordinators to be trusted because they need to build a reputation. I believe a reputation system for coordinators will definitely be needed to guide the community which coordinators are trustworthy, and which of them have high liquidity + unique users.

Is there going to be a report on what this "sophisticated" attack was? From what I can see here there was a changed hash from one of the binaries. So was the download server hacked? Was the coordinator hacked through a central point of failure?

Could this have all been prevented if the clients had more common sense settings? I can't understand from what has been posted already. Anyway it's interesting that the Wasabi team is still delivering patches even after they closed their main revenue source. I'll wait for the post mortem.

Obviously there was a hack, or it could also be an inside job. Either of the two. Unless there was an "honest mistake", WHICH will be in itself suspicious.
