Charlie,

Thanks for the technical questions. The full evidence archive (with PII 
redacted) is available.

To directly answer your requests:

UTC timestamps & affected prefixes:

Hijack window: 2026-05-16 to 2026-05-17 UTC.

The attacker's own BIRD config shows manual injection of China Telecom's 
IPv6 backbone (240e::/20) on May 1 (premeditation).

Full list of the 3,948 hijacked IPv4 prefixes is from Hurricane 
Electric's BGP data, timestamped on May 16-17.

Traceroutes/MTRs:

 From my network (victim) to the attacker's infrastructure: 
as20473--nrt6.global.tianshome.net (log available in the archive).

 From attacker's Shanghai Looking Glass to my home IP: direct trace 
available in the archive.

BGP collector / looking-glass sources:

Hurricane Electric: https://bgp.he.net/AS202734

RIPE RIS data confirms the hijack peak during May 16-17.

Attacker's own Looking Glass: https://lg.tianshome.net

The complete evidence archive (PII redacted, including raw logs and 
emails) is available upon request to avoid cluttering the list. I will 
not attach files directly here.

Thank you for helping validate this incident.
