A good start would be killing any /24 announcement where a covering

I wouldn't do this as a general rule.  If an attacker knows networks are
1) not pointing default, 2) dropping /24's, 3) not validating the
aggregates, and 4) no actual legitimate aggregate exists, (all
reasonable assumptions so far for many /24's), then they have a pretty
good opportunity to capture that traffic.

Seth approach could be an option _only_ if prefix has an aggregate exists && as origin are the same
