Honestly Cloudflare's PR pissed me off yesterday.

Straight up going on LinkedIn and other socials telling everything was solved in one hour (actually 37 minutes), even though I and many other companies I know still had issues with their services *16 hours after* the post.

Those are things that make me reconsider my position with Cloudflare. Straight up lying and not verifying whether your customers are able to operate on your platform while impacting their operations but making PR stunts about how good and fast they are at solving critical issues is something that erodes credibility.

Especially after they used the Okta security failure to bash them on their blog for their lack of honest communication to their customers.

Is it possible that you're referencing the other outage from the 30th? Just going by the 37 minutes number as it's very specific.

This outage (not the current one) was 37 minutes long:

They are straight up scumbags.
