Cloudflare examines frequent, short DDoS attacks
Cloudflare published its DDoS report for the third quarter of 2026. It describes frequent short attacks and fewer extremely high-volume incidents than in the previous quarter. Its findings reflect traffic observed on its own network; they do not establish the situation of every business.
Our perspective on website continuity
For a website that accepts orders or appointments, we suggest reviewing existing mitigation with the provider, identifying who receives alerts and checking how to confirm an outage from another connection. Documenting an emergency contact and rehearsing the procedure with fictional data can clarify responsibilities. This is Radical IT Solutions editorial advice, without an availability guarantee or an implied commercial relationship with Cloudflare.
