Doesn’t Cloudflare have every incentive to inflate the bandwidth of the attack they have successfully mitigated?

And yes I know that there are Cloudflare employees here so spare me with your pinky swears.

A couple months ago Brain Krebs, who uses Google’s Project Shield, wrote of a very similar attack. 6.3 terabits, all UDP, less then a minute.

Couldn’t this logic apply to basically every internal metric across every company?
