Incorrect proxying of 24 hostnames on January 24, 2022

What's this blog post about?

On January 24, 2022, Cloudflare experienced an internal product migration issue that resulted in 24 hostnames, including www.cloudflare.com, being mistakenly redirected to the wrong origin (clickfunnels.com). This led to traffic intended for these hostnames being passed through to clickfunnels.com's origin and potentially displaying a clickfunnels.com page instead of the expected website. The incident affected API calls or other expected responses to and from these hostnames, which may not have responded properly or failed completely. Cloudflare has taken responsibility for the error and worked with ClickFunnels to delete logs of this event to ensure no data was retained by them. They are committed to improving their processes and technology to prevent reoccurrence and apologize for any disruption caused to customers and visitors.
