The goal of the attack, Cloudflare says, was to obtain information on the company's infrastructure, likely to gain a deeper foothold. According to Cloudflare, more than 5,000 individual production credentials were rotated following the incident, close to 5,000 systems were triaged, test and staging systems were physically segmented, and every machine within the Cloudflare global network was reimaged and rebooted.
