Summary

In June 2026, Border Gateway Protocol remains one of the internet's weakest links. Lucas and Luna examine the mechanics of BGP hijacks—how a single misconfigured router can reroute global traffic—using the 2024 X/Twitter hijack incident as a case study. They explore why RPKI adoption has stalled at 45 percent, the role of MANRS in improving routing hygiene, and what network engineers can do today to protect their prefixes. Specific numbers, real incidents, and a clear call to action for operators.
