It's been a while since I studied routing, but have they fixed BGP security?

I remember reading about the protocol and thinking something like: this seems awfully "hippie-trust" levels of security.

Granted, this was 10 years ago so my recollection of BGP is super fuzzy :-D

Every time this happens I have a mental metaphorical image of somebody tripping over the $5 power strip that has the single point of failure route-server or route-reflector plugged into it.
