Meanwhile, it’s going on two weeks that a large volumetric amplification attack has been coming from CF itself against systems I manage.
Ironically, their abuse report does validate the domain being used to route traffic is a registered customer domain. But the abuse report and even Slack pings have yet to affect the traffic. It’s incredibly frustrating because you’d expect a company like Cloudflare, which positions itself as a defender against DDoS and similar threats, to take action much more quickly when they’re part of the problem.
