@ca & Matt - No, we do not plan to ever intentionally perform a non-authorized BGP hijack in the future.
@Steve - Correct, the attack had already been mitigated. The decision to hijack the attackers IP space was to deal with their threats, which if carried through could have potentially lead to physical harm. Although the hijack gave us a unique insight into the attackers services, it was not a factor that influenced my decision. @Blake & Mel - We will likely cover some of these questions in a future blog post.
