It is a false positive. Both the originating and "hijacking" AS are the same Ukrainian ISP (Netgroup).

The advertising ASN does not share any upstream peers. So it might not be a hijack, but it is an interesting event and could be related to the conflict.

Untangling ISPs that have operated in both countries or with subsidiaries is going to get messy while infrastructure is also getting destroyed.

Wtf is mayor goodway? And why is he in this confusing analogy?

It's a joke; somebody asked for a Paw Patrol analogy. It's not actually an explainer, and wasn't intended to be taken as such.

"Paw Patrol Explainers Considered Harmful"

In this thread, I will deconstruct... (1/49)

It may surprise you that I have a different view on the world despite speaking the same language as you and hanging out in the same place as you.

I have no idea what a paw patrol is (actually I do, because I take the trouble to look to things from other people's perspective and engage).

Broaden your mind please. Or fuck off. Your choice.

The issue isn't the particular show or analogy. It's the implication of your comment that everyone should, unrealistically, try to be an expert in everything and thereby never seek a more concise "intuition" when a few hundred hours of research and self-study could be had.

You were new at one point too.

I see validity on both sides of the table.

Yeah, someone new and experienced should have all the effort possible put into them by others trying to catch them up..

on the other hand the whole 'ELI5' phenomenon really has no place in niches that really have no point to be generalized for the average population.

'ELI5' breaks down when comprehension of multiple topics is required for elucidation; i.e.: a layman's explanation of quantum chromodynamics requires many other base level comprehensions before it can be tidily explained.

The 'ELI5' thing is cute, and it has a place -- but it shouldn't be generalized to all education across the board.

If you don't know what Paw Patrol is then a Paw Patrol explanation can't be lowest-common-denominator.

I feel this way whenever I have to explain that, no, sex is not a binary related to XX or XY, there's lots of genetic variations (many of which don't fall neatly into male or female).

There's lots of stuff like that across a wide range of disciplines -- computer science, biology, sociology, physics, economics, etc.

For sure. Life is beautiful and nuanced. Anything significant is complex, and quantizing a spectrum, or at worst, making it monochromatic, takes something from its beauty.

OH MAH GAWD PATRICK

(I know youre not patrick, I made that joke almost a decade ago!)

I just haven't seen you 'round these parts recently....

May you please provide a link to your analysis of WTF might happen in recent-future times?

I was predicting a major infra/cyber war...

It seems that actions of the world have curbed that enthusiasm...

However; the spectre lingers from an info/dev/ETC/sec position ; here me out:

---

Aside from what we are seeing in the global political frame ; which means nothing to political aspirations on the personal level :

We are seeing a MASSIVE shift on the authoritarian control to global HUMAN mobility in all : Mindshare, Finance, Tech, Social-Acceptability, etc.

The RESET. is in changing the mindshare around such topics.

Lets take into your realm: Cyber-Sec...

---

Extrapolate 10 years. If you have not done so already,

What will cyber-sec look like in 10 years?

What will ID look like?

What will currency access look like?

What will financial channels for individuals look like?

What will access to "goods and services" by those who wish to not deal with "the system" look like?

What will social-mobility look like?

If you are not evaluating and thinking about this, I do not trust you

Mayor Goodway is the mayor of fake-San-Francisco ("Adventure Bay") in the kids' show "Paw Patrol". Also, she is a woman, so I'm not sure why Mayor Goodway is referred to as "he"
Re:Possible BGP hijack by fintler on Friday March 04, 2022 @06:47PM (#30562177)
They probably meant Mayor Humdinger instead.
Re:Possible BGP hijack by pelasaco on Saturday March 05, 2022 @12:41AM (#30564659)
Are you assuming Mayor Gooday's gender? /s
Re:Possible BGP hijack by lbotos on Friday March 04, 2022 @06:16PM (#30561927)
Pretty sure this is paw patrol but agreed, from the outside, it's incomprehensible. (I'm on the outside with you)

I think I have a Voltron analogy somewhere that can explain the Paw Patrol one...
Re:Possible BGP hijack by jsizzle on Friday March 04, 2022 @07:28PM (#30562518)
It’s VERY likely a false positive. It’s the same ISP
