That's an assumption on your part. Many negative events happen because of assumptions people make and things they take for granted. I ask a valid question. Do you know for a fact how many people monitor their network or what systems they have in place? Or whether they even simulate events like this to see if other members of the team are even reachable? Have you ever seen the constant testing that goes on at large organizations (such as the military) to make sure battle systems are ready to deploy when necessary?

Note also that cloudflare charges $3000 per month for enterprise plans (in addition to free) and that their own website was taken offline.

Many businesses call roles a "team," even when it's just one person. I believe this is the case here, since the linked CloudFlare blog post states:

> Someone from our operations team is monitoring our network 24/7.
