This is pretty crazy. I wonder how the route hijack didn't get noticed by anyone at the time, though? Or at least if someone did notice, they didn't make a fuss about it.
as long as they continue to route traffic out to the real destination.. who would notice latency jump from 50ms to say.. 120ms? I don't know if they did this, but you could absolutely be covert about this, and be nearly transparent to the victim.

That frightended me a little to.. It seems like these things can fly by if operators don't fuck up on a major scale like recently with Malaysia(?).
