Hi all,

Regarding the Spamhaus DDoS attack, there's a Cisco article [0]
detailing its chronology, which cites greenhost.nl [1] claiming a BGP
hijack by AS34109 (CB3ROB).  Here, a /32 was announced (and accepted...)
for 0.ns.spamhaus.org, and the fraudulent server returned 127.0.0.2 for
*all* DNSBL queries, with the intent to undermine confidence in
Spamhaus.

Are there any confirmations of this claim?  This needs to be
investigated and proven/disproven.

Nicolai
