RE: BGPMON Alert Questions

[Lee Johnston <lee () wildcard net uk>]

Snap, announcing a few of our /21s and a /23. Seems they did something similar a few year ago: 
http://www.bgpmon.net/hijack-by-as4761-indosat-a-quick-report/

I can't make any contact with Indosat (website non responsive / email queuing). This is what I have back from Aware 
Corp. AS18356 (first AS in the path):

I can confirm that we are seeing your prefixes as advertised by AS4761, via one of our upstreams CAT AS4651 
(THAI-GATEWAY The Communications Authority of Thailand(CAT),TH)
We (Aware Corporation - AS18356) operate a BGPMon PeerMon node which is probably why you are seeing this alert from our 
AS.
It is likely that your highjacked prefixes are being advertised to all of CAT's customers. 
I suggest contacting  AS4761 (INDOSAT-INP-AP INDOSAT Internet Network Provider,ID) directly for resolution as there is 
little we can do as a stub AS.



Regards,
Lee.

I just got the same alert for one of my prefixes one minute ago.
