Cloudflare touts privacy-friendly 1.1.1.1 public DNS service. Hmm, let's take a closer look at that

Re: 1.1.1.1 conflict

There was some experiment a couple of years ago (2010) where whoever owned the 1.0.0.0/8 block experimented with advertising the 1.1.1.0/24 and 1.2.3.0/24 routes to the 'net. They got hit with a massive flow of garbage traffic due to these kind of stupid configs. It was so bad that they had to give up using those blocks. Wonder if that has been "solved" recently?

This is the experiment.
