Where did you get the idea that a Moratel customer announced a google-owned
prefix to Moratel and Moratel did not have the proper filters in place?
according to the blog, all google's 4 authoritative DNS server networks and
8.8.8.0/24 were wrongly routed to Moratel, what's the possiblity for a
Moratel customers announce all those prefixes?
Ah, right, they just leaked Google's prefix.  I thought a customer originated the prefix.

Original question still stands.  Which attribute do you expect Google to set to stop this?

Hint: Don't say No-Advertise, unless you want peers to only talk to the adjacent AS, not their customers or their 
customers' customers, etc.

Looking forward to your answer.

I would expect that moratel should have a route object which their transit providers can construct a prefix filter for. if moratel advertised an AS path including themselves and a google orgin pccw should not have accepted it. if they originated the prefix, pccw should not have accepted it.
