Cloudflare celebrated its 15th anniversary this week, announcing new products and features. Co-founders Matthew Prince and Michelle Zatlyn reflected on past and future internet changes. A mis-issued digital certificate for Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS service raised internet security concerns in a separate incident. On February 29, 2024, Prince warned of a potential "Black Mirror" future for the internet due to the web's business model breakdown. Last week, Cloudflare experienced a DDoS attack, which it also accidentally caused, following a similar incident in June of this year. Cloudflare also offered advice on investing in basic security practices, including hiring expertise and using vendors that support post-quantum encryption.
