Public DNS in Taiwan the Latest Victim of BGP Hijack

Earlier this month (8 May), traffic going through a public DNS run by the Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC) was rerouted to an entity in Brazil for about three and a half minutes. MANRS is a community initiative of network operators and Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) that creates a baseline of security expectations for routing security. If most network operators and IXPs implement the MANRS actions — including filtering — BGP hijacking events would not propagate across the Internet, and we could avoid outages, traffic inspection, and DoS attacks.
