I guess its been long enough since the last time that folks have
gotten lax with their filters.
Filtering default, loopback, etc should be in every peer's BGP
configuration whether you trust them or not. Who do you blame,
the fool who announces default to the world, or the world for
listening to it.
Every router I know has enough memory and processing power to filter
the basic (updated) martian list. This was a preventable accident.
