Internal sources say Peer5 were not acqui-hired ;) But we took a very different direction than this or PeerCDN

Is the specific IP range of the leak known ?

Hi Shachar from Peer5 here, we're operating a MultiCDN. Cloudflare is actually one of the best performing CDNs. All CDNs encounter issues small to big - that's why using multiple providers and intelligently routing between them is critical for high resilience.

Right now we're seeing issues in the following ASNs: 9,541 . 59,257 . 38,264 . 132,165 . 23,888 . 55,714 . 45,773 . 45,669 . 9,260 . 58,895 . 17,557 . 38,547 . 38,193 . 135,407 . 23,966 . 7,590 . 136,525 .

Are you seeing ASN 396531 as the original leaker?

Anyone has more details, regarding the roadmap and timeline?

Both are prepared from a completed game. Except for some very specific genres, it's impossible to make a demo without building the whole game behind it. That's not a format you use to test a game idea.

"Specific genres?"

This probably depends on your ratio of story/art to engine/game mechanics[0] your game would have.

It seems games that do not require continuous player progress (ruling out RPGs entirely) can be a good fit.

e.g. Episodic story-telling games and then something like Hitman, so action games can be done that way too.

But you could easily release TBS games this way too, many "mission"-based games would lend themselves to this format.

[0] In a broad sense.

I think solving hard problems requires working hard. There are processes that happen while you sleep and dream that I don't know the explanation for, which really help you progress on an extremely difficult problem. In my experience those processes happen only when you're very focused on your problem, it occupies your thought 80% of your waking hours and it's the last thing on your mind before going to sleep.

I remember I saw a video on it from a more credible source than I, but I can't find it.

There's the great nand2tetris course [1] - teaches step by step how to build a computer from the simplest logical gates, using hdl, to building your own ALU, computer, and later on operating system, etc'.

What really underlines this blog and thread is that as of the moment of writing this comment, there's no official answer from Google, or even a non official one from an employee. The feeling I get as a customer is that they just don't care.

I did make a post below actually a few hours back and will copy and paste it below for reference. Rest assured that we are working on this one and are in contact directly with the customer. We hope to have more of an official response soon.

from below: I work here in Google Cloud Platform Support. First, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by this issue. Protecting our customers and systems is top priority. This incident is a good example where we didn’t do a good job. We know we must do better. And to answer OP’s final message: GCP Team is listening.

Our team has been in touch with OP over what happened and will continue digging into the issue. We will be doing a full review in the coming days and make improvements not only to detection but to communications for when these incidents do occur.

My company was another victim if you need another non-fraud case to look into.

If you're ok with lower resolution then you can lower it, if the service allows it. Obviously remove anything that might use network.

Amazing talk, here's another great one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ahvzDzKdB0
