Spamhaus have built that table from what they know of previous hijacking
events (because they observed that there was some repetition in the
prefixes that the hijackers chose).

So announcing a prefix that is on that list is not a good sign (indeed
far from it) -- but don't expect a "new" hijacker to only choose from
that list or indeed to pick any prefixes from that list at all.
