I don't see it now on any looking glass sites. Hopefully this was just a typo that was quickly corrected. I would appreciate if people have time and can double check let me know if any announcements are active except from our AS6128/AS6395 upstreams.

Was there an explanation for the leak posted?

Maybe this was a coincidence but the only prefixes I received alerts on 
were prefixes I only advertise to Level3.  There was one exception. 
There was a leaked prefix that is the next /24 above on our Level3 only 
prefixes.
