[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2014-12: Anti-hijack Policy

Fri Mar 28 12:49:16 EDT 2014

There is a paper here
http://www.merit.edu/research/pdf/2013/ipv6_darknet_paper_r6098.pdf

that says
"We announced the prefixes: 2400::/12, 2600::/12, 2800::/12, 2c00::/12,
2a08::/13, and 2a04::/14 for over a three-month period. For a few days, we
also announced RIPE's 2a00::/12"

So I believe that the answer to your question is yes.
