Please be advised that Level 3 is experiencing a network issue that may be impacting your CDN services. Our SecOps team identified a large scale DDOS attack targeting CDN. The attack was isolated and mitigated within our SecOps team within 30 minutes. Our teams are now involved in cleanup activities to stabilize the CDN and return traffic serving to normal. Further measures are being implemented across the network to protect against this type of attack in the future

Update 1:-

The CDN NOC responded to a significant increase in requests on multiple servers, which is impacting CDN services for customers

in various markets. The CDN NOC is working with Operations Engineering to isolate the fault point and implement necessary actions

to restore services.

Start time of the issue is record as 17:50UTC



Obviously the Level3 CDN should be behind Cloudflare! Or so half the HN posts would have you believe.
