[manrs-community] What are the dangers of next-hop hijacking?

Hi guys, I've been doing some research on BGP security recently and I've discovered a hijacking method called BGP next-hop hijacking. But I don't know how this will cause harm, as modifying the next-hop only redirects traffic. Are there any actual cases of such hijacking parties?
