A recent incident involving Cloudflare has blocked distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on several news sites, including those owned by major media outlets. The attack was reportedly launched using a botnet that used compromised devices to flood the targeted websites with traffic.
The affected sites were forced offline for an extended period, causing significant disruptions to their operations and readers. Cloudflare’s DDoS protection system was designed to mitigate such attacks and ensure the availability of critical online services.
In response to the incident, Cloudflare announced its efforts to improve the effectiveness of its security measures against DDoS attacks. The company is working to enhance its threat intelligence capabilities and refine its filtering algorithms to better identify malicious traffic.
The incident highlights the ongoing threats posed by DDoS attacks and the importance of robust security measures in protecting online infrastructure.
