At BGPmon we see numerous BGP hijacks every single day, some are interesting because of the size and scale of the hijack or as we¹ve seen today because of the targeted hijacked prefixes. It all started last weekend when the Turkish president ordered the censorship of twitter.com. This started with a block of twitter by returning false twitter IP addresses by Turk Telekom DNS servers. Soon users in Turkey discovered that changing DNS providers to Google DNS or OpenDNS was a good method of bypassing the censorship <https://twitter.com/bgpmon/status/447894140257202176> . But as of around 9am UTC today (Saturday March 29) this changed when Turk Telekom started to hijack the IP address for popular free and open DNS providers such as Google¹s 8.8.8.8, OpenDNS¹ 208.67.222.222 and Level3¹s 4.2.2.2. https://twitter.com/bgpmon Looks like stuff started happening again today. -- Justin Wilson <j...@mtin.net> MTCNA CCNA MTCRE MTCWE - COMTRAIN Aol & Yahoo IM: j2sw http://www.mtin.net/blog xISP News http://www.zigwireless.com High Speed Internet Options http://www.thebrotherswisp.com The Brothers Wisp
