Best practice is to remove internal use AS's from announcements -- not much bad happens if you don't (well, you might not get as much reachability if other folk are also using that reserved AS within their networks...) >The only other thing I feel compelled to say, or ask right now, is just >this: Who should I be notifying if there is an issue with this ASN? the NOC for the people making the incorrect announcement -- if there is a question as to how valid the rest of the path might be, then that may take you a little while to establish (and you may get lied to when you make enquiries) BTW: great though HE's portal is, you really should be picking apart the mass of data held by RIPE if you want to form a view as to might be doing bad things (that's not the only place you need to look, but it's a good start and in this case the number of detectors seeing this origin and the timeline puts it rather more in perspective) -- richard Richard Clayton Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
