Possible BGP hijack

OMZ Global (AS34329) is an industrial process company (eg steel, manufacturing, ship building, etc). I&#x27;m going to assume someone who shouldn&#x27;t have had access to BGP is trying to use it to block GoogleDNS or similar inside the corporation.<p>That or some pretty hilariously heavy-handed state-sponsored hijacking.

Heads up this happened a few days ago, not currently hijacked.<p>Handy tool though, bookmarked it - using the event graph to display route changes as detected over time is a great visualization - would be really cool if there was the same event graph covering the entire internet (though I suspect without some cleverness in both design and implementation, the quantity of data would be prohibitively large for building a useful visualization).

Am I reading this right that leak lasted 2 hours?<p>These are often the result of mistakes. Even if OMZ were a tier 1 provider in RU, the impact would still be limited - I can&#x27;t see how this could be intentional.

BGPStream [1] and RIPEstat[2], indicate that they also briefly announced prefix 87.23.14.0&#x2F;24, belonging to a major Italian telco.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bgpstream.com&#x2F;event&#x2F;17606" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bgpstream.com&#x2F;event&#x2F;17606</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stat.ripe.net&#x2F;widget&#x2F;announced-prefixes#w.resource=AS34329&amp;w.starttime=2000-08-01T00%3A00" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stat.ripe.net&#x2F;widget&#x2F;announced-prefixes#w.resource=A...</a>

The BGPlay visualization on that page appears to be open sourced: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;MaxCam&#x2F;BGPlay" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;MaxCam&#x2F;BGPlay</a>

* Edited: Disregard this comment *<p>Ok, so if OMZ is Russian, do know this:<p>Russia currently is &#x27;blocking&#x27; several websites. I.e. blocking at a DNS level, so this might be half witted attempt on keeping the censorship..<p>And as @swiley noted: some people only use the easier to remember 8.8.8.8 (I do that for instance)
