I was affected by that attack. After lunch here in Barcelona several sites started to time out on Firefox: GitHub, Twitter, Hacker News, Canva, DuckDuckGo. While others like Reddit, Google, YouTube kept working.
Found via Twitter that others had already tried changing DNS servers, and then did a tracepath and found that I couldn't reach the resolved IP's. Thought it would have been a misconfiguration of Orange. Then on Twitter (accessed via Orange mobile, which funnily worked fine -- probably a different network?) I found a thread of the people in Spain complaining about it, where someone later replied with links to the RIPE account take-over tweet.
Took about 2-4 hours for the service to be fixed. Haven't fixed any other issues so far. One of the articles pointed that it could have been due to someone that was not using 2FA, but there were no sources in that article.
