BGP error in Indonesia blocks Google in other areas

   "The case today was similar. Someone at Moratel likely "fat fingered"
    an Internet route. PCCW, who was Moratel's upstream provider, trusted
    the routes Moratel was sending to them. And, quickly, the bad routes
    spread. It is unlikely this was malicious, but rather a
    misconfiguaration or an error evidencing some of the failings in the
    BGP Trust model."
