YouTube Hijacking: A RIPE NCC RIS case study

YouTube Hijacking: A RIPE NCC RIS case study (RIPE NCC)
On Sunday, 24 February 2008, Pakistan Telecom (AS17557) started an unauthorised announcement of the prefix 208.65.153.0/24. One of Pakistan Telecom's upstream providers, PCCW Global (AS3491) forwarded this announcement to the rest of the Internet, which resulted in the hijacking of YouTube traffic on a global scale.
