Good report (although I do not understand why they hide the name of
the offending ISP since anyone can see it in RouteViews, or in its own
BGP traffic). It's ordinary BGP hijacking but the goal is new:
stealing bitcoins since the connections inside the mining pool are not
authenticated.

Here is an example in RouteViews at LINX, for (among others) the OVH
prefix 142.4.195.0/24 (bitcoin pool Hashfaster). This route was
withdrawn at 18:35:08.
