The big novelty in the Renesys paper is the proof (with traceroute)
that there was a return path, something which did not exist in the
famous Pakistan Telecom case, or in most (all?) other BGP
hijackings. This return path allows to attacker to really get access
to the data with little chance of the victim noticing. That's
something new.
