The Amsterdam servers of the content delivery network Cloudflare have for the fifth time in a short time had to deal with large-scale ddos attacks. The attacks were the sites that make use of Cloudflare’s servers are temporarily not accessible.
Matthew Prince, ceo of Cloudflare, let in a declaration before Ispam know that the traffic of paying Cloudflare customers during an attack last Sunday through Cloudflares datacenters in London, Paris and Frankfurt was led. This is so that the effect of the attack for paying customers as low as possible would remain. As soon as the severity of the attack diminished, were all the services of paying customers through the Amsterdam servers.
In February of this year were with one of the largest ddos attacks ever, even though Dutch Cloudflare servers affected. By a vulnerability in the ntp protocol allows servers to which this protocol run by an attacker to be used to his own capacity.
