> A total of 34,500 ports were targeted, indicating the thoroughness and well-engineered nature of the attack.

How is that more complicated than a for-loop?

If I dont want my user to have Cloudflare captcha or for example captcha dont work on my Safari 18.5 running on OpenCore Patcher MacBook 2015. What other options have I got?

So this "article" "source" is Cloudflare, claiming Cloudflare blocked some super duper mega attack, but gives zero verifiable detail about any of it.

Now I hate Cloudflare with a passion, but even setting that aside, this is journalistic malpractice - it's basically a sponsored post. I was going to say I expected better from Ars Technica, but their glory days are long gone.

Doesn’t Cloudflare have every incentive to inflate the bandwidth of the attack they have successfully mitigated?

And yes I know that there are Cloudflare employees here so spare me with your pinky swears.
