Network Traffic Redirection and Interception exploiting BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)

This is a critical advisory and affects all networks

Then an attackers can sniff all your password, sensitive files and confidential data putting your business at high risk. Two researchers at the Defcon 16 security conference demonstrated this scenario as a new "man in the middle" attack which allows interception of the traffic of an IP prefix by sending fake BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) routing packets on the wire.

Every website you visit goes bad, every email you send could go someplace else.
