Akamai is probably way bigger than Cloudflare, so if they don't take customer that got a 620Gb DDoS I doubt Cloudflare will.

- johncolanduoni 10y agoI think the bigger issue was that he wasn't a customer (they provided the service pro bono), not that Akamai wouldn't keep a customer that got hit with such an attack.
- michaelt 10y agoTraditionally, journalists and celebrities getting freebies get /better/ service than regular paying customers. I don't see why being pro bono would matter in an established company?
- thomasahle 10y agoCloudflare has this on their website: "600Gbps: Largest DDoS attack stopped" - https://www.cloudflare.com/under-attack-hotline/ https://www.cloudflare.com/under-attack-hotline/ But I suppose attacks may differ in other ways that Gbps.
- VoidWhisperer 10y agoIf I remember what cloudflare's article said, that 600gbps attack was a reflection/amplification attack, which for them is likely easier to filter out then just large amounts of direct DDoS traffic, which is what this was evidently.
