• blog.cloudflare.com: Cloudflare released an outage postmortum for yesterday's incident in which multiple Cloudflare services were unavailable for almost a full hour. This caused all operations against R2 object storage to fail for the duration of the incident, and caused a number of other Cloudflare services that depend on R2 to fail as well. ThisBiggest takeaway is that Cloudflare actually remediates phishing sites instead of just forwarding the abuse report to the threat actor. 🤡🤡🤡
