A recent incident involving a large-scale DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack led to the blocking of an IP address by Cloudflare, a popular content delivery network. The block occurred after 429 too many requests were made from that IP address within a short period.
Cloudflare’s system is designed to prevent abuse and protect its users from excessive traffic. When an IP address exceeds this threshold, it is temporarily blocked to prevent further malicious activity. This measure helps safeguard the security of Cloudflare’s services and prevents potential breaches.
It is essential for organizations using Cloudflare to monitor their network activity and take necessary steps to avoid such incidents in the future. By implementing robust security measures and monitoring traffic patterns, they can minimize the risk of IP address blocking and ensure continuous access to their online resources.
