Next time you have a problem that needs law enforcement, don’t call 000/911/999/112 etc, just call +1-888-99-FLARE and will personally swing by and sort it out. #DefundThePolice

CDN from has indeed been great for #alpinelinux Currently they handle around 1000 requests/second for us. It just works.
Quote Tweet
it should be noted that @fastly has provided the Alpine CDN for the past 8 or so years, and have done an awesome job with it. i would highly recommend them as an alternative to Cloudflare if you're shopping for a CDN. twitter.com/fastly/status/…

“more” “secure” I was hoping we’d at least see network access logging or even egress controls. That’s not the case. Static source IPs for #GitHub runners is better than allowing 6mil+ Azure IPs access to your network, but it doesn’t give you any insight into what the CI job does.

Update, while no account was actually breached, a pretty serious vulnerability was discovered due to this thread. As such, I have decided to pay out a bounty regardless as I think it's important to reward those that bring security flaws forward.

No shade intended. Twilio acted quickly and much better than most organizations. The fact that they disclosed what they saw publicly is especially admirable. I don't think many organizations would withstand a targeted attack like this one.
