Based upon the information I am currently looking at (see below) I now believe that it was perhaps a mistake for myself, and possibly others, to have become focused on the issue of insuring the correctness and/or validity of route objects within the RIPE data base only in those cases where the IP blocks in question are under the dominion of other (non-RIPE) RiRs. It now seems certain to me that the absence of anything even remotely approximating proper validation of RIPE route objects is not, in fact, a problem which is limited to just inter-RiR situations. Apparently, RIPE member LIRs can just as easily hijack the IP blocks of other RIPE members as they can in the case of IP blocks belonging to parties in other regions. Also, RIPE-resident hijackers can just as easily place validating route objects for these hijacked RIPE-issued IP blocks into the RIPE DB as they can for any other hijacked blocks taken from any other region(s). Readily available public data indicates that approximately three weeks ago, on or about October 25th, AS197207, an Iranian ISP, began announcing the following routes to the following chunks of its own properly registered IP space: 31.2.128.0/17 46.51.0.0/17 95.64.0.0/17 164.138.128.0/18 188.229.0.0/17 Prior to AS197207's decision to begin announcing the above routes (which they did, starting on Oct. 25th), it appears that the proprietors of AS43890, a Romanian ISP and RIPE LIR in good standing, apparently elected to announce their own set of routes to some or all of the above Iranian IP blocks, using lots and lots of little deaggregated /24 announcements to do so. Evidence in my possession indicates that some of the /24 blocks in question were in fact used by so-called ``snowshoe spammers'' during the time when AS43890 (aka "Netserv Consult SRL") was routing these blocks. This fact leads me to believe that the proprietor(s) of AS43890 most probably did not in fact have anything like real authorization from AS197207 to announce routes to any of the Iranian AS197207's legitimately registered IP space. Further and additionally, as in the recent case involving (Bulgarian) AS201640, it appears that (Romanian) AS43890 also and likewise created multiple route objects within the RIPE data base as a way of legitimizing what appears to me to have been several substantial IP space hijackings. Lastly, many, most, or all of the fradulent route objects created by AS43890 are still present within the RIPE data base, as of today. I am including a list of all 61 of these below. As was the case with the fradulent route objects created within the RIPE DB by AS201640, these 61 apparently fradulent route objects which were created by the proprietor(s) of AS43890 have likewise also been imported into the MERIT RADb, from the RIPE DB, thus spreading the bogus ``authorization'' to route these blocks even further, in a manner not unlike a viral contaminant.
