This goes to show that despite all the automation we are all working
toward, a lot of the Internet works because we, for the most part,
we all collaborate as flesh & blood human beings. Chances are
that if I didn't know anyone at IPDC on a personal level, this would
still be an ongoing issue.<br>

Curiosity from side: Since MacroLan is now part of the SEACOM
family why is it not possible to do that on MyAFRINIC portal?

We are not sure. There appear to be certain objects in the AFRINIC
WHOIS database that cannot be edited in the MyAFRINIC portal. This
is one of them, so we have the AFRINIC team updating this for us.<br>
<br>
We'll spend some more time on that as a separate item once all this
dust settles.<br>

I will repeat myself here but, folks/colleagues on the mailing
list - if you run a network you should start thinking in
adopting those kind of mechanisms to prevent your prefixes to
being hijacked - similar to what is being reported here by
Mark. Obviously if your equipments support the mentioned
mechanisms.</div>

If there ever was a time.<br>

While RPKI would not have prevented this specific issue, every bit
of armour we can add to the skin to protect the BGP will help.<br>
