You may not have a view into that you’re being hijacked and used to send SPAM for example:

Their space was hijacked and announced facing Yahoo. I’m hoping that Yahoo is now feeding public route views services as a method to help with detection. Same goes for Microsoft and Google and other e-mail providers. Some sunlight here would help avoid similar localized hijacks.
And if someone want to make me a transit offer for the price of DE-CIX (I do not even ask the price of DTEL-IX peering ;) ) - please, contact me off-list, I will be really happy.
Pricing obviously varies based on location and a few other criteria, but you should be shopping if this is a major part of your business.
