The signal-to-noise ratio for those addresses is likely pretty high.  The noise is likely contained on many internal networks for now because a corresponding route doesn't show up in the global routing table at the moment.  Once that changes....

1.1.1/24 and 1.2.3/24 are assigned to APNIC. Unless they release them, the general public will not get addresses in these.
