The ISP is the primary threat vector here (do you trust yours? Along with their contractors and anyone who might have compromised them?). But like I said route-poisoning attacks do exist.

yeah but the likelihood of this is incredibly remote. It would shock me if ISPs didn't have alarms going off if RFC1918 space was suddenly routable within their BGP table.

Not to mention the return packet would be NAT'd so the attacker would have to deal with that complication.

Yes, I trust everyone who works at it, mostly because I know where they live.
