Russian-controlled telecom hijacks financial services’ Internet traffic | Ars Technica

'Normally, the network traffic bound for MasterCard, Visa, and the other affected companies passes through services providers that the companies hire and authorize. '

'A typical cause of these errors [is] in some sort of internal traffic engineering, but it would seem strange that someone would limit their traffic engineering to mostly financial networks."', "As a result, traffic flowing into the affected networks started passing through Rostelecom's routers."

'"I would classify this as quite suspicious," Doug Madory, director of Internet analysis at network management firm Dyn, told Ars. '

'While it's possible Wednesday's five- to seven-minute hijack of 36 large network blocks may also have been inadvertent, the high concentration of technology and financial services companies affected made the incident "curious" to engineers at network monitoring service BGPmon. '
