> I reported this - never heard back. found the issue with another domain, reported it, never heard back.. got busy.. found another domain name that had the same 'exploit', running through CF

To me this indicates it may have been a widespread problem. Really calls into question this hypothesis and the categorization of it being an "edge case":

>At this point, it would take upwards of 450 Cloudflare accounts to get an account that matches one of your specific vulnerable domain's nameservers. Additionally, in my experience, there is only around a 10% chance of success even if the nameservers assigned to your account match the domain. While this is a far cry from the theoretical 200,000 accounts previously believed necessary, that's still a lot of work to perform a targeted takeover. *https://github.com/indianajson/can-i-take-over-dns/issues/10
