Did someone just paid $2,6M in fees (10,668 Ether) while sending just $133 in ETH?

Here is the transaction details:

A record high ETH transaction fee. The block was mined by sparkpool. Looks like a malicious act.

Hmm, definitely a mistake.

Definitely a mistake.

I'm expecting EIP 1559 to greatly reduce the rate of things like this happening by reducing the need for users to try to set fees manually.
