Threat Score
A Nigerian ISP, MainOne, mistakenly advertised 212 Google IP prefixes which propagated via China Telecom and TransTelecom, rerouting and/or dropping traffic and causing Google service disruptions for roughly 74 minutes; the incident—attributed by MainOne to a BGP filter misconfiguration—illustrates the high-risk nature of BGP hijacks and the potential for traffic interception by transit providers.
