These appear to be Chinese startups scraping PDF user comments for AI training... (F-word) communists
It’s a combination of ignorance, cost cutting, and blind trust. It seems Crowdstrike skipped internal mandatory security check. Microsoft approves the update without mandatory check. Companies IT approve and auto deploy update without internal check.
This is likely as these are commonly used proxys used for malware attacks. The real location/IP could be anywhere.
The DDOS attack should be blocked by the internet provider , don't think cloudfare can do much.
Its ... the question of who becomes weakest. Your application server and database OR your network connection. For the forum kind of websites, its usually the former. So, internet provider can not do much. But yes, for network flooding internet providers can filter out but for application and database compute exhaustion, you need something like cloudflare which will rate limit automated requests and filter bogus requests with a context.
Apprear to be Chinese? You are very suspicious.
was facing the same issue since morning, seems to be working now though, after 7 hours.
Ya same here, I can got in twice but then when I tried to go the next page again couldn’t access.
Should cloudfare be able to block those bots, attackers? No?
