Helping protect the 2025 Moldova elections

On September 28, 2025, Moldova held a crucial parliamentary election amidst concerns of Russian interference and significant cyber threats. The election was seen as a pivotal moment for the country's geopolitical direction, with a pro-European government competing against a pro-Russian opposition. To ensure the integrity of the democratic process, Cloudflare supported the Moldovan Central Election Commission (CEC) by deploying cybersecurity measures to counteract a series of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks targeting election-related websites. These attacks, which peaked at over 324,333 requests per second, were part of a broader campaign against official institutions and public information channels, but Cloudflare's automated defenses successfully mitigated them, maintaining the availability and integrity of the electoral services. The Moldovan government confirmed the attacks and expressed gratitude for the protection provided, which allowed citizens to access real-time election results without disruption, ultimately leading to a victory for the pro-Western government.
