Just search for CloudFlare worker abuse. There's lots of stories like this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37064311 , larger campaigns like https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/blackwater-ma... , DDoS campaigns originating from workers https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38496499

It's kinda hard to point to someone saying how big the problem is, because most posts are just "sigh, here's yet another example, anyway...". I wouldn't go as far as saying they're doing this as an intended strategy, but it's definitely a case of it being hard for CloudFlare to care about an issue when they're in business of selling protection from that issue.

Thank you for providing links instead of giving me a “just believe me, bro” type of response. I’m about to take a look at them.

As a side note, I’m actually amused that I got downvoted for simply asking for evidence. I think it’s a pretty reasonable to ask folks to substantiate serious allegations made against a company like Cloudflare (a company, I might add, I’m not even a fan of for my own personal/philosophical reasons). I find this behavior very cult-like, but anyway, I digress…
