BGPMon On Illegitimate Route Announcement

In November I posted BGPMon on BGP Table Leak by Companhia de Telecomunicacoes do Brasil Central. A lot of people saw that activity but the overall effect was negligible to nonexistent.

Yesterday I received a more personalized alert from BGPMon:

So, an ISP in Giza, Egypt announced a 3.3.3.3/32 route to the Internet. That looks like some kind of test. I used to be amazed to see a /32 route appear like this in global BGP tables, but now that I know most ISPs don't filter anything I am not so surprised anymore. Previously I would have thought one of the AS in the AS path would have filtered this.
