First: it wasn't cloudflare -- it was CrowdStrike (a sec firm, of all things!) Second: nobody's going to sue them. Guess what? The big ones have lawyers, lots of them. And their best protected tech is "law tech". They wouldn't be skimping on quality if it didn't pay off. Case in point: Solarwinds. 2020, they had a row of high-level attacks which knocked off their customer's customers (AFAIR, one third of Sweden's supermarkets had to close for three to four days, among many other things). They were sued for $26 million, that's it. Cheers [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolarWinds#2019%E2%80%932020_supply_chain_attacks -- t
