For 12 Hours, Was Part of Apple’s Network Hijacked by Russia’s Rostelecom?

>We also have not seen any information from Rostelecom about whether this was a configuration mistake or a deliberate action

My ISP is Rostelecom and here they have the reputation of being a pretty crappy provider (probably because it's a monopoly in a lot of places), so a mistake is a possible reason, it's something Rostelecom could do.

Good to know. Thanks for providing this viewpoint as a customer.

From my reading, the answer seems to be yes, but Apple launched mitigations already after 5 hours.

The Register had an article building off this post with some more conjecture: https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/27/apple_networking_traf...

It was, and let's keep pretending like the Russian invasion of Ukraine has nothing to do with that (or other tech news about Russia).

Looks like it? BGP stuff is hard to prove out
