Did Cloudflare just suffer the biggest DDoS attack?

@FrodoSwaggins so is antifa but nobody seems to give a fuck.

But care to explain?

Guess you mean this?
@Stuxnet

Tried updating a bunch of Active Collab tickets so I look like I get a bunch of shit done before everyone else comes in (I'm here 2 or 3 hours before any of the other devs). I just assumed it was our network, since it's constantly down. But then started getting 502's and immediately checked for an outage. What an age we're in now lol.

@EaZyCode yeah I was, unfortunately I didn’t get an alert from our monitoring service as my email has stopped working (rant on that later)

@ChaoticGoods all of our sites and services were affected as well. Too much reliance on one service

How did you conclude it was a ddos?

How did you jump the conlusion it was a ddos? (Hint: it wasn’t, they just fucked up a software rollout)

Nice
> one of these rules contained a regular expression that caused CPU to spike to 100% on our machines worldwide. This 100% CPU spike caused the 502 errors that our customers saw. At its worst traffic dropped by 82%.

How did they even manage to roll out the same change across their entire infra? Ever heard of —limit ?

@jelr I just wanna know how gnarly that regex was!
