Support NeoGAF

[Darkmakaimura]

Been hearing all over Twitter there's a major DDoS attack that took down Discord, Cloudflare, Riot Games, Valorant and a bunch others.

Haven't seen anything mentioned here yet. What's going on?

I had issues getting on about an hour ago actually. Was wondering what was up

Yes, I actually asked in the Discord after everything went back up. I couldn't browse any site as it said the DNS server couldn't be reached. But the Twitch stream I was watching was still up and people in chat where going crazy saying the internet was crashing. They also said that AWS was down as well. Everything came back up on it's own eventually, no need to restart my router like I normally do if there is a local outage. We even contacted Comcast and they said there where no outages in our area so DDOS attack makes sense.

Cloudflare had issues and basically Discord etc all use it. No idea if it was a DDOS though or just them needing to change the Internet hamster running everything

Cloudflare outage takes down Discord, Shopify, Politico and others

Many major websites and services were unreachable for a period Friday afternoon due to issues at Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS service. The outage seems to

Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and potentially Google DNS affected. Curious timing either way, but Google DNS as well would be... something.

Google DNS being down would make sense why I couldn't access any sites since I use their DNS IP...

So that explains why Era and Gaf wasn't loading up for me.

Gaf was down for me earlier.

Same. Thought it was my work network but I couldn't perform a proper lookup for Neogaf. Switch to my personal connection and was fine.

 

[Rathalos]

Lots of sites weren't working for me about an hour ago.

 

[and 3 others]

Coordinated attack to finally ban Darksydephil.

Was down for everyone.

Seems like a good time to ban TikTok. They are already afraid from the Huawei ban and the sanctions.

Twitter is crawling for me but I don't know if it's my phone or Twitter causing it.

Hitting Cloudflare alone fucked with 10% of the Internet, so that is a quarter of that.

Distrupting communication is the first sign of an invasion.

Dun, dun, duuuuuuuun

Sorry I was downloading 6TBs of games.

I use Cloudflare and didn’t notice anything go down.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

About an hour ago I couldn't get on here or the discord. End times, people.

 

[Tesseract]

if everything goes down at once, please consider eating your neighbors

 

[Rentahamster]

I fix double capacity

 

[PhoenixTank]

Quite possible we'll hear about a new DDoS method in a few weeks unless this was an actual backbone outage.

Too late.

For the sake of others, that link has been updated and Cloudflare are saying it wasn't an attack.

We had an issue that impacted some portions of the @Cloudflare network. It appears that a router in Atlanta had an error that caused bad routes across our backbone. That resulted in misrouted traffic to PoPs that connect to our backbone. 1/2

We isolated the Atlanta router and shut down our backbone, routing traffic across transit providers instead. There was some congestion that caused slow performance on some links as the logging caught up. Everything is restored now and we're looking into the root cause. 2/2

Just to be clear as there's some speculation on Twitter etc... this was not the result of an attack of any kind.

Discord and a lot of other services use Cloudlfare to route their traffic. Cloudflare had issues earlier, but nobody has confirmed it was a DDOS attack. They could have launched a bad regional config.

Edit: Twitter is a cesspool of fear mongering. My post was too late. I had just read the OP.

Oh I am very much appreciated, just not in obvious ways

I appreciate your public appreciation

 

[dorkimoe]

It’s scary that we rely on 2 services for the entire internet. AWS and cloudflare basically.

Wow, what a massive load of nothing this thread was. Learn how networks & the Internet works people, stop gaming for a few mins to enlighten yourselves.

"Series of tubes"

series of tubes isn't that bad of an analogy

just replace tube with fiber optic cable, and then like 100 other things

 

[thelastword]

I wonder if the internet goes down for 24 hours if people will have a mental breakdown over it...It seems we are so dependant on it now......I was telling a colleague the other day, the internet is like drinking water to many. Kinda sad in a way tbh....
