If they are hijacking a netblock, it is safe to assume they will also hijack an ASN. The best method of dealing with hijacking is still deaggregation and contacting Upstreams providers from a registered whois address which should be a role account.

You’ve been around long enough to know thats a bull$&^% answer. Feel free to look through the archives of *this* list and look at how many times some $random handle at some $random privacy protected or generic domain asks for someone from $bignetwork to contact them about a network problem. Take you for example. You’ve been around for at least 15-20 years that I recall. But I bet you that 80% of the people on NANOG have *no* idea who you are or who you work for, and given the “useful" information on your website, an op would have to take the time to google you - which is way above the threshold of effort most people would take. And that preassumes that the ops from the tiny little network leaking your routes is actually a) subscribed here, and b) monitoring or filtering appropriately. And before you talk about the fact you stated “ largetelco(dot)com” I would bet that there are large telco’s who don’t have op’s like us who waste their time on NANOG. So, instead of the suggestion you provided, do you have any other suggestions that are useful? I’m asking seriously, because I really do see this as a problem we all have to be able to solve as operators. I believe this is absolutely on-topic for one of the NANOG lists because this is a 100% operational problem, that has appears to have as its only GDPR acceptable solution alternative, following a manual/email thread from *your* next hop network, requesting contacts/intros all the way down to the dumba$$ BGP speaking edge network with a part-time routing guy/antenna installer. /rlj E-MAIL CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The contents of this e-mail message and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information.
