How BGP Hijacks Still Happen and What We Can Do

Despite years of security upgrades like RPKI, Border Gateway Protocol hijacks remain a persistent threat to global internet routing. This episode examines the mechanics behind recent hijack attempts, why automated validation hasn't fully solved the problem, and what network engineers are doing to detect anomalies in real-time. We look at specific cases where traffic was misdirected, the economic incentives driving these attacks, and the technical limitations of current monitoring tools. Lucas and Luna break down the difference between malicious hijacking and accidental route leaks, offering listeners a clearer picture of how the internet's backbone handles trust and verification today.
