I appreciate your point but you're assuming that you are the original /
sole source. More than one org has been working on this and the recent
increase in IP squatting has been discussed on a few private and public
lists. All content in this post originates from our own data and
analysis. As you've seen we described a second (not previously
discussed) case in great detail as well.

Credit where credit is due, in the blog we publicly thanked one
Individual (Job) for his help. To be honest I think this is a great
example of how we worked with the community. We've worked with the ISP's
involved, shared all our data and worked closely with some of them to
verify traffic patterns and figure out why these prefixes were being
accepted.
