Wonder if services like Let’s Encrypt were affected. I imagine a scenario where a small hijack of DNS could allow for properly signed certificates for domains that are not owned. If I operated a CA service, I would carefully examine the requests received during this time frame. Maybe someone can audit the Transparency Logs during this period for anomalous activity.

BGP hijacks sadly happen on a weekly basis. It’s not new and there are hundreds more cases. It’s only noteworthy this time because high profile targets were affected instead of these being used for spear hijacking, etc.
