Cloudflare a web-infrastructure and website-security company, providing content-delivery-network services, DDoS mitigation, Internet security, and distributed domain-name-server services to many major companies and services. Today, Cloudflare went down, taking with it Discord, Patreon, Medium, Riot Games, and more for a short period of time.
It appears now that all services are back up and running, including Spectrum, Shopify, 4chan, and Crunchyroll.
By a twist of irony, it appears the DDoS mitigation service was actually hit with a DDoS attack.
Now that everything’s back up, you can join Your EDM’s Discord here.
