    Oh yeah, this sure smells funny… No proof of Cloudflare’s involvement but as they say deep in the post, they directly benefit whether they’re involved or not.

    Cloudflare have been accused before of some very sketchy behaviour to coerce customers into paying for higher service tiers. It wouldn’t surprise me if they knew what was going on.

    TL;DR:

    • Some of Cloudflare’s customers are bad people.
    • Canonical used Cloudflare to defend attack.
    • Did Cloudflare blackmail Canonical!???!?!??!!!11

    TWTLT;DR:

    • No.
