I might note for those who are unfamiliar with it, that the "Kratos" entity is a major US defense contractor and manufacturer of advanced UAVs, so if this issue is not addressed it has a high likelihood of getting attention from some of the more clued-in folks in the federal government.

NANOG,

A customer of Cogent has a compromised router that is announcing
prefixes sourced from AS 36471.   Cogent is propagating that to the
world.  Problem is, those prefixes and AS don't belong to that customer
of Cogent - AS 36471 belongs to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions,
Inc. (see whois).

Requests to Cogent Support and Abuse go un-actioned.  Need a contact at
Cogent Abuse that can shut down that compromised router.  Anyone have a
good contact at Cogent Abuse Dept?

Cogent ticket: HD302928500
