Know When You’ve Been DDoS’d

Today, Cloudflare announced the availability of DDoS attack alerts at no extra cost for all customers on paid plans. This feature is part of their mission to make the internet safer and more accessible by democratizing enterprise-grade protection. The real-time alerts will be delivered through email or PagerDuty, depending on the plan type. There are two types of DDoS alerts: HTTP DDoS alerts and L3/4 DDoS alerts. To receive these alerts, users must create a notification policy in their Cloudflare account dashboard. The alert includes information such as attack type, target, and mitigation details. Feedback from users is encouraged to help improve the DDoS protection solution.
