BGP hijack infecting networks caused by a comedy of errors that’s not funny at all

Comments

1. Elin: hard to believe something as basic as routing protocols can bring a major company's systems down
2. Cobalt Pulse: someone should fire whoever was responsible for this debacle instantly
3. Mendezliam: unbelievable how one mistake can cascade down like that
4. Bruno: unbelievable that something as basic as routing protocols can be so easily compromised
5. Kian: the thing that keeps me up is the fact some basic checks weren't in place - human error's always going to be a risk but infrastructure should have safety nets for this kind
6. Milaibrahim: Looks like this is just another instance of people not double-checking their code
7. Ruby: the 'comedy of errors' part feels like a pretty generous spin – this kind of thing has serious security implications
8. Selimn: who let some clown announce an update on a BGP router?
9. Null Raven: the irony isn't lost on me that this kind of thing could still happen in 2023
10. Mirage Serpent: this is what happens when you don't invest in basic network security
