Clearly it is a matter of wording and also introducing warnings in some cases. I have sent a text about this before: “Direct peers allowing the hijack thru their networks will be warned the first time, but may be considered by the experts evaluation to be a party involved in case of subsequent deliberated hijacks cases“ Regards, Jordi El 22/3/19 12:19, "anti-abuse-wg en nombre de Carlos Friaças via anti-abuse-wg" <anti-abuse-wg-bounces@ripe.net en nombre de anti-abuse-wg@ripe.net> escribió: On Fri, 22 Mar 2019, Sascha Luck [ml] wrote: > On Thu, Mar 21, 2019 at 11:12:02PM +0100, JORDI PALET MARTINEZ via > anti-abuse-wg wrote: >> 3) We may need to refine the text, but the suspected hijacker, in case of >> sponsored resources, is the suspected hijacker, not the sponsoring LIR >> (which may not even have relation to it).

Hi, The issue here might be the difference between a peering and a transit relationship. If hijacker Z announces prefix Y to network X. Then network X will route packets towards the hijacker, even if X doesn't propagate prefix Y any further to any other 3rd party networks. An hijacker can join an IXP and announce an hijacked prefix to one, some or all of the IXP's membership. In that case we will have one, some or many victims. Hope it is clear now.
