Where did you get the idea that a Moratel customer announced a google-owned prefix to Moratel and Moratel did not have the proper filters in place? according to the blog, all google's 4 authoritative DNS server networks and 8.8.8.0/24 were wrongly routed to Moratel, what's the possiblity for a Moratel customers announce all those prefixes?
