A Cloudflare spokesperson told Ars that the cloud services provider saw “a spike in unusual traffic to one of Cloudflare’s services,” which “caused some traffic passing through Cloudflare’s network to experience errors.”

“We do not yet know the cause of the spike in unusual traffic,” the spokesperson said. “We are all hands on deck to make sure all traffic is served without errors. After that, we will turn our attention to investigating the cause of the unusual spike in traffic.”

Why DDoS Cloudflare when they could just pressure them directly like they did with BBC or Paramount? I know this administration isn't exactly the brightest but that doesn't seem like something they'd do.

I thought OP was saying people are resisting ICE by DDoSing CloudFlare while you might be thinking ICE (therefore the administration) is attacking CloudFlare. Either way, it doesn't make much sense lol
