Is BGP Safe Yet? No. Test Your ISP (isbgpsafeyet.com)

The article argues that BGP (the protocol that routes internet traffic) is not yet inherently secure, because attackers can announce or hijack routes. It says a widely used fix is for ISPs and major network operators to adopt RPKI, which certifies which IP address prefixes may be originated by which networks. The site cites many recent deployments and filtering steps by major transit providers and ISPs that reject RPKI-invalid routes, including examples from 2020–2026, and presents this as a practical way to “test your ISP.”
