Historically, most prefix hijacks have been accidental, generally due to
configuration error -- for instance... 

Having said that, there are quite a few documented cases of it being done
intentionally, and for nefarious purposes.

It would be incredibly useful for someone to start a page or a category on Wikipedia "List of Internet Routing and DNS 
Incidents" that would include both "accidental" and malicious events.
