The BGP intercept attack as described by Anton "Tony" Kapela and Alex Pilosov at Defcon 16 has been gaining notoriety, so I thought I would start gathering some of the information here as a centralised resource.

The Wired article is probably the best place to start. They added an additional article to further describe the attack and a bit of the history behind it.

The effect of the BGP re-route has already been seen with the Pakistan – YouTube incident.

The link to the Defcon slides is here.
