Australia has a lot of violence as well - it's simply not gun violence. I believe your conclusion is incorrect.

Yes - makes me think of the assassination of Shinzo Abe.

The gunman made his own gun, in a country with ultra-strict gun laws. The Unabomber made his own bombs. The Seattle mall Islamist knife attacker refused to stay down after being shot multiple times.

My takeaway: political terrorists are particularly motivated. Secondly, gun laws slow them down but don't stop them.

No control group; that's too bad.

Are attacks like this—ransomware—always aimed at Windows-based systems? Is that the common denominator?

I've noticed that most Internet attacks are Windows-based but somehow "Microsoft" or "Windows" never makes it into the news copy. I've wondered if MS has a massive marketing/legal outreach to make sure that doesn't happen. And to make it sound like "this can happen anywhere", and "no computer is 100% attack-proof".

Especially 15 hours after the DC comes back up and you're still offline.

I'm planning my transition away for 10 or so subdomains and 30 records.

The only feature I need to research in new providers is: access to Whois ASN numbers, which I insert into HTTP request headers. I use this to tailor my site for .gov and .edu users.

That's the inference, but AFAIK there's been no direct assertion or explanation: Why has CF been knocked back to Alpha-status reliability across the board.

I can't believe we haven't heard anything yet. AFAIK we've only been told, "power outage", which was resolved yesterday.

What should our expectations be? The best assumption could be that this is the new normal.

Has Cloudflare said anything of substance yet? This is far beyond a simple power outage.

It's 60 degrees in PDX; the power outage doesn't seem weather related.

Cloudflare really embarrassed me:

I had attempted to do an ad hoc demo for my client in a morning meeting. Whoops.
