AWS Direct Connect route injection issue
A BGP-based feature of the AWS Direct Connect service allowed a third party to inject an incorrect route for an external IP, effectively hijacking AWS-sourced traffic. This resulted in connectivity issues between AWS EC2 instances and external systems. The issue was caused by a typo in a Direct Connect customer's configuration, which advertised an incorrect prefix to AWS.
