Ceasefires Don't End Cyberwars
- isalmon 14y agoIt would be nice if CloudFlare could provide a couple of examples of what sites exactly are being attacked.
- thejosh 14y agoCloudflare won't do that, they are pretty awesome about site privacy. I remember watching a video where he did a talk about lulzsec and he had to get permission to talk about their stats, so I'm pretty sure they won't release the sites that are being targeted without prior permission.
- yozmsn 14y agoIDFblog, if you tried to go there during the war, they would popup and say "we're checking if you're a legit request .... redirecting now"
- tagada 14y agoI went on it a lot during that operation, it was never down, actually. Most of the official israeli sites were not affected, or only very shortly. However, a lot of small private - politically insignificant - owned websites (groceries, cafés, kibbutzim, craftsmen ...) were.
- ams6110 14y agoCeasefires usually don't end real wars either.
- codexon 14y agoCloudFlare's goal is to power a better Internet. While that will inherently mean we will increasingly find ourselves in difficult situations like this one, we will continue to be guided by the principle that it is not our role to decide whether one idea or another is correct, but instead to ensure that all ideas can find equal footing online. I wonder what jgrahamc has to say about Cloudflare shielding sites used to ddos people. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1182576 http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1182576
- jgrahamc 14y agoCloudFlare works very closely with law enforcement.
- kaolinite 14y agoYet you wouldn't talk to the hosting company of the server that hosts a spam list containing my email address and many more (even after I gave links showing phishing sites and DDoS tools on the same server) :-(
- codexon 14y agoDo you really need to wait until law enforcement to do anything about it? This seems to me like CloudFlare doesn't really care. Don't you know that most law enforcements ignore DDoS attacks when the damage isn't done to a million/billion dollar business like Mastercard?
