"Amazon Cloud Services IP Addresses Hijacked Amazon lost control of 1,300+ Amazon Cloud Services IP address for two hours yesterday, when hackers used a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)-hijacking to reroute traffic to rogue destinations. The incident hijacked addresses belonging to Route 53, Amazon’s domain name system service, Internet Intelligence said on Twitter. Those responsible used the hijack to steal $17 million in ETH alt-coins from online cryptocurrency website MyEtherWallet.com. Amazon officials said: 'Neither AWS nor Amazon Route 53 were hacked or compromised. An upstream Internet Service Provider (ISP) was compromised by a malicious actor who then used that provider to announce a subset of Route 53 IP addresses to other networks with whom this ISP was peered. These peered networks, unaware of this issue, accepted these announcements and incorrectly directed a small percentage of traffic for a single customer’s domain to the malicious copy of that domain.'..." https://www.cbronline.com/news/amazon-cloud-ip
