The source data above may be old, or simply wrong -- I don't see *any* =
AS originating that prefix right now, and I can confirm specifically =
AS20144 is not configured to originate it.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the original question, but the assertion =
that anybody is hijacking that particular prefix seems false.
