Seeing it again here too.. Has anyone contacted them?

..and for folks who are choosing to blackhole the prefix in order to supress the route, please remember not to export it!

Actually just started seeing these problems again today.  Is anyone else seeing this today from something other than 212.118.142.0/24?  Looks like it started about two hours ago.
