Internet data hijacking via BGP reported

http://j.mp/IG3ClI  (Wired)

   "Earlier this year, researchers say, someone mysteriously hijacked
    internet traffic headed to government agencies, corporate offices and
    other recipients in the U.S. and elsewhere and redirected it to
    Belarus and Iceland, before sending it on its way to its legitimate
    destinations. They did so repeatedly over several months. But luckily
    someone did notice."
