What this one-off look does not tell me - are the attacks higher on new areas not used to attacks, or are the highlighted areas used to a significant level of attacks and might therefore have defences?<p>And 98% of what?<p>At a glance and with no real history or numbers this would seem meaningless.
Is this a rare occurrence? 198% of "very little" is still very little.<p>I would've thought the figure often fluctuates by much more than this.
Oops, all I get at that site on my iPad is a message ordering me to install Flash. Hello, Akmai? Anyone noticed the declining support for that old technology ?
The chaps that keep the CloudFlare global network running do seem a bit busy than usual today. I asked if there were "more attacks than usual" and they replied "Yes" and rushed off to do something.
Very low amount of news in this article, doesn't mention the attack being used. I feel I needed to assume its a DDoS. But then several types of DDoS don't require large amounts of network traffic (and traffic volumes would be the easiest way to see DDoS from the outside looking in) some DDoS's can keep a server down with 10-100 packets per second.<p>Basically I learned nothing, and I want this article to have a "Want to know more?" button.
Lately i noticed a number of cloudfare outages in popular websites, does this relate or is it just because the cloudfare network had some technical glitches?
