rutehijacking
Route hijacking, also known as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) hijacking, is a malicious internet routing technique. It exploits the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the core routing protocol that governs how data packets travel across the internet. When a BGP hijacking occurs, an unauthorized entity announces ownership of IP address ranges that do not belong to them. This false announcement, or "hijack," is then propagated through the BGP system to other internet routers.
As a result, traffic destined for the hijacked IP addresses is misrouted to the attacker's network instead
Mitigation strategies for route hijacking include various technical and operational measures. These include BGP security enhancements
