@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange This is a lot of words (and actions) for them to reach the conclusion that yes, they do have to sign up for Cloudflare – which solves it immediately.
I don't *like* it as a solution but I don't have another one. And they could have done it in the first minute.

@tomw@mastodon.social @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange And Cloudflare is the service that protects the DDOS operators. Along with ISPs who protect users whose compromised devices source the DDOS traffic.
