I hope he doesn't ignore it, the internet has been forgiving enough toward cloudflares string of failures..its getting pretty old, and creates a ton of choas. I work with life saving devices, being impacted in any way in data monitoring has a huge impact in many ways. "sorry ma'am we can't give your child t1d readings on your follow app because our provider decided to break everything in the pursuit of some react bug." has a great ring to it

Cloudflare and other cloud infra providers are only providing primitives to use, in this case WAF. They have target uptimes and it's never 100%. It's up to the people actually making end user services (like your medical devices) to judge whether that is enough and if not to design your service around it.

(and also, rolling your own version of WAF is probably not the right answer if you need better uptime. It's exceedingly unlikely a medical devices company will beat CF at this game.)

Half your medical devices are probably opening up data leakage to China.

Most hospital and healthcare IT teams are extremely under funded, undertrained, overworked, and the software, configurations and platforms are normally not the most resilient things.

I have a friend at one in the North East right now going through a hell of a security breach for multiple months now and I'm flabbergasted no one is dead yet.

When it comes to tech, I get the impression most organizations are not very "healthy" in the durability of systems.

Most of DICOM data sharing is over unencrypted ports. Every sniffer can easily extract super-sensible data. Not only China, everywhere.
