The official line is:still none the wiser ? -- hackers?? -- virus??
Cloudflare said the "significant outage" occurred after a configuration file designed to handle threat traffic did not work as intended and "triggered a crash" in its software handling traffic for its wider services.
At a guess, it sounds like their new file was a bit 'hair-trigger' and flagged something 'normal' as 'severely hostile' and went into containment mode.

Another way to say the same thing:
They decided to put an AI in charge of their data centers and it went all "SkyNet" on them.

The quote was from Cloudflare - the quip was mine.

Not yet, I'll have a browse and see how it compares
Mind you MacFinder is only up the road from us in Ipswich, and the prices are broadly similar.
They are superb for refurbished MacBook Pro laptops - now had about 6 or 7 for self and family members

all the people who've left a review say the same.
Bought instead of a tablet, that I'd been tentatively looking at acquiring (in case I ended up on a ward again
).haven't used it much yet, but synched everything to/from my desktop and Pam's laptop, on two a/c.s, a POP
Just recently had a laptop for Pam, as hers is 'giving signs' of impending issues -- " Dell Latitude 5420 14-inch (2021) - Core i5-1145G7 - 32GB - SSD 512 GB " -- again, not a single mark on it - 1400 quidsworth at launch, excellent reviews and 330 quid. Synched perfectly too.
Neither of us need the 'latest tech', so's fine for our usages
