This is why filtering in BGP (in and out) is a good idea. But also a
demonstration of lack-of-BGP skills on a global basis!
Marketing opportunity? :)

Subject: Youtube BGP/IP hijacked
As you may be aware from recent news reports, traffic to the youtube.com
website was 'hijacked' on a global scale on Sunday, 24 February 2008.
The incident was a result of the unauthorized BGP announcement of the prefix
208.65.153.0/24 and caused the popular video sharing website to become
unreachable from most, if not all, of the Internet.
