>What would it take to convince you an attack is real when it has been 100% mitigated and you never saw it in your backend infrastructure?

I was running node_exporter, which exports a lot of detailed network info from my kernel to Prometheus. During the time intervals leading upto, during, and after the attack, there is nothing there. Not even a blip.

I don't find it likely that OVH completely prevented any kind of volumetric attack from hitting me with zero detection latency. I just have doubts about there existing a perfect technology that doesn't have any false positives and also kicks in instantly. I'll keep an open mind.
