Oracle Says China Telecom Has Misdirected Internet Traffic, Including Out of the US, in Recent Years (zdnet.com)
Oracle's Internet Intelligence division has confirmed today the findings of a recently published academic paper that accused China of "hijacking the vital internet backbone of western countries." From a report: The research paper was authored by researchers from the US Naval War College and Tel Aviv University and it made quite a few waves online after it was published. Researchers accused China Telecom, one of China's biggest state-owned internet service providers, of hijacking and detouring internet traffic through its normally-closed internet infrastructure. Some security experts contested the research paper's findings because it didn't come from an authoritative voice in the world of internet BGP hijacks, but also because the paper touched on many politically sensitive topics, such as China's cyber-espionage activities and how China used BGP hijacks as a way to circumvent the China-US cyber pact of 2015. But today, Doug Madory, Director of Oracle's Internet Analysis division (formerly Dyn), confirmed that China Telecom has, indeed, engaged in internet traffic "misdirection." "I don't intend to address the paper's claims around the motivations of these actions," said Madori. "However, there is truth to the assertion that China Telecom (whether intentionally or not) has misdirected internet traffic (including out of the United States) in recent years."

China has poisoned the heroin with fentanyl, our waters with microplastics, our forests with invaise destructive species, and placed spies everywhere in accademia and the corporate spaces.
China has murdered democracy protestors.
China has stolen trade secrets and now the entire internet traffic of the US.
When will our leaders stand up to Imperial China?
how these BGP hijacks always seem to come from China or Russia. A coincidence, surely.
I'm getting sick of this shit. The US and the EU should just make the old internet an overlay on a new internet, with new internet traffic having priority. Fuck the globalist fairy tales. We don't need to be trivially vulnerable to DDOS's (allow IP owners to send firewall rules upstream) we don't need foreign agents redirecting internal traffic ... we can fix this, we should have fixed this.
Much like we should have told C programmers to take a long walk off a short peer the moment the inevitability of buffer overflows and use after free became clear, we should have started fixing the internet the moment it's ridiculous weaknesses to DDOS's and hijacks became clear. Yes the costs are huge ... but I'm pretty sure that by listening to the people who say there is no alternative because of those costs the economy has suffered criminal damages upward of a trillion dollar by now, time to stop listening.
There is an alternative, it's not easy, it is necessary.
Why would we vote for two men under investigation by the FBI?
Do it know! BGP is sagrid. Must not up with which put. Durect line to TRUMP. Make a tack presently.
You're no better, America, and in no position to point fingers. And what's more, judging by what you've been up to in the world in the last 20 years, we should be far more afraid of you doing these things than China (as you claim).
By allowing the data to flow out of the US they could spy on it all with slightly less violation of the constitutional rights of citizens. It is doubtful they were unaware of this occurrence and probably lauded the new signal to noise it provided.

We can smell your chopsuey breath through your post. Try again chinky!
First of all, lol it is fucking Oracle. Probably the last IT company that I would trust. No scratch that, Oracle is probably the company that wouldn't give ever a 2nd thought on turning your traffic to the highest bidder. Secondly, NSA/Five Eyes has been doing this constantly; if you don't encrypt your traffic it is already being tapped ALL THE TIME.
Because we only care when it is Trump
Not nearly as bad as the contract rape Oracle engages in.
"hey look at that rapist calling out the knife assailant!"
Now there's two principles-to-live-by in the same room:
1. Don't do business with Oracle.
2. Don't do business with China.

RPKI has been around since 2013
RPKI provides a way to connect Internet number resource information (such as Autonomous System numbers and IP addresses) to a trust anchor. The certificate structure mirrors the way in which Internet number resources are distributed. That is, resources are initially distributed by the IANA to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), who in turn distribute them to Local Internet registries (LIRs), who then distribute the resources to their customers. RPKI can be used by the legitimate holders of the resources to control the operation of Internet routing protocols to prevent route hijacking and other attacks. In particular, RPKI is used to secure the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) through BGPsec, as well as Neighbor Discovery Protocol (ND) for IPv6 through the Secure Neighbor Discovery Protocol (SEND).
IP addresses and Autonomous Systems Numbers are allocated by five Regional Internet Registries (RIR): Afrinic for Africa, APNIC for Asia-Pacific, ARIN for North America, LACNIC for Central and South America and RIPE for Europe, Middle-East and Russia. Each one operates independently.
so whats your excuse america ?
