If you are defending against a nation state, you should be worried about your staff being bribed, otherwise coerced or worse just being foreign agents. In properly run networks, BGP hijacks shouldn't have a noticeable impact.

This is it, find a senior network operator, pick up their kids from school, and take them home.

You now have an agent with full access over that network.

But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you
