Small update: I've just written a blogpost with my thoughts on the incident. https://www.devever.net/~hl/xmpp-incident
I usually brood on blogposts for days before publishing them since I care a lot about getting things accurate, but this is a bit of the moment, so here goes. Always happy to get feedback by email or IRC: https://www.devever.net/~hl/contact
Is it just me, or would a recurring RIPE Atlas measurement be a great way to detect fuckery like this?

not at all, since there were no Internet-visible routing changes.
atlas would be good for detecting the time Pakistan announced 0/0 or whatever.
I think atlas allows tls/ssl probes, so that could still be used to track unexpected changes in certificates?
