Brian Krebs column on network hijacking

[Rich Kulawiec <rsk () gsp org>]

Brian Krebs of the Washington Post has written a column about the
apparent hijacking of a /16:

        A Case of Network Identity Theft? - Security Fix
        http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/04/a_case_of_network_identity_the_1.html

That column is largely based on the fine research done by Ronald Guilmette,
available here:

        http://www.47-usc-230c2.org/

I find myself wondering -- given recent discussions about the possible
exhaustion of IPv4 space on NANOG and similar -- how many network blocks
are unaccounted for, or disused, or controlled by someone other than
their putative owners.
