             For about two hours, internet traffic was re-routed through a Chinese based telecom, and from speculation its looking like it was a BGP hijackin operation, possibly  orchestrated by Chinese state sponsored actors. 


      There was traffic that was re-routed from a Switzerland based data center. There is no evidence as to whether it was job that was orchestrated by state sponsored actors, but given the times, its not outside of the realm of possibility.
