Security Experts:  Do Recent BGP Anomalies Shed a Light on
What's to Come?  The Future of Cyber Attacks - Do Recent BGP
Anomalies Shed a Light on What's to Come?  When experts consider
modern cyber attacks they are traditionally focused on denial of
service (DDoS), global botnet, and DNS hi-jack attacks. Each of
these tends to cause downtime or service outages and require
partnering with service providers to remediate the incident.
However, as recent as last month’s experiment run by Duke
University and the YouTube outage of two years ago we are
starting to see anomalies with the Internet’s core protocol,
BGP, that may be just as disruptive, with the potential to be
even worse.BGP Attacks  Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the
protocol that supports routing decisions made to pass data
across the Internet. BPG makes decisions based on path
availability, network policies and rules built into routing
tables. The healthy operation of the global Internet is based on
the trust that BGP route information is accurate
