OK one quick question here - Moratel leaked route and thus for a portion of internet route to Google was via Moratel but was a path. What caused 100% outage I.e all four authoritative DNS servers and open resolver service too ? Can we just guess that due to ultra high traffic path between Moratel and Google was checked ?

Or there's a chance that some customer of Moratel announced prefix using Google's ASN at first place. Hard to believe why they would have set bgp session in first place with wrong asn but was curious to know if that is also a possibility?

Possible? Yes. Probable? No. Refer to: Hanlon's Razor and Occam's Razor -DMM

Apologize for calling it an prefix hijack. I misunderstood in start. Clearly it was case of prefix leaking.

No worries. I should have read more closely.
