BGP hijack?

Hello everyone,
I'm working for MilkyWan / AS2027 and I wanted to give you some 
explanations regarding this incident. Last week-end, during an upgrade 
on our network configuration, it appears that some prefixes were 
announced with an incorrect AS Path. Based on our analysis, none of 
these routes seem to have been announced anywhere, but to some 
route-collectors (RIPE RIS, BGP.Tools, Qrator, HE.net, NLNOG RING), and 
therefore didn't effectively end up in the DFZ.
The issue was discovered quickly (in a few minutes) and corrected right 
away.
The incident is now closed on our side; please reach out to us should 
you see anything proving otherwise.

We deeply apologize for that and we can confirm it was not a BGP hijack 
attempt.

Wishing you a very pleasant day.

Vincent F. for Milkywan Team
