Hijacked Network Ranges - paging Cogent and GBLX/L3

Haven't really been following, but you've got a 50/50 shot for BGP on Cogent
for us,
but Level3 is shorter so would take precedence.

208.110.48.0/20	3356 29791 11325 i
			174 1299 29791 11325 i
208.110.49.0		3356 12189 19181 33611 i
			174 12189 19181 33611 i

I would go at first by advertising your prefixes as a /24 as well, just
randomly checked 2 different locations and the as-path to 11325 is shorter
than to 33611
This seems to be the case for customers of Tiscali and L3, so this will
probably get most of your traffic back to you...

Ido

Greetings all.

We've been in a 12+ hour ordeal requesting that AS19181 (Cavecreek Internet
Exchange) immediately filter out network blocks that are being advertised by
ASAS33611 (SBJ Media, LLC) who provided to them a forged LOA.

The routes for networks: 208.110.48.0/20, 63.246.112.0/20, and
68.66.112.0/20 are registered in various IRRs all as having an origin AS
11325 (ours), and are directly allocated to us.

The malicious hijacking is being announced as /24s therefore making route
selection pick them.

Our customers and services have been impaired.  Does anyone have any
contacts for anyone at Cavecreek that would actually take a look at ARINs
WHOIS, and IRRs so the networks can be restored and our services back in
operation?

Additionally, does anyone have any suggestion for mitigating in the interim?
Since we can't announce as /25s and IRRs are apparently a pipe dream.
