Cloudflare Security Breach: Change Your Passwords
In case you didn't already know, this past week Cloudflare announced that a bug might have exposed some of your sensitive information from exchanges like Kraken or Poloniex.
If you have accounts with these exchanges you probably received an email strongly suggesting to change your passwords, two-factor authentication and API keys. Cloudflare is a web security firm that provides denial-of-service protection.
According to the blog post published by Cloudflare,
The bug was serious because the leaked memory could contain private information and because it had been cached by search engines... The greatest period of impact was from Feb. 13-18.
Websites that were potentially affected by the bug include:
- Coinbase
- BitPay
- Blockchain
- LocalBitcoins.
This bug influenced more than just the crypto based sites.
Websites like Reddit, Uber and OKCupid were also affected.
Please pass this information along to anyone who you think may have been effected by this security breach! They'll thank you for it.
That is some view behind you.
And don't I know it, this is one reason why I love Portugal.
Also good weather, good food, and amazing people :p ahah ;)
I absolutely agree!
Thanks for the heads up! Just changed them.
wow good job. ;)
Done that some days ago, thanks for reminding, important action to be taken @heiditravels
I changed all my passwords from windows login to exchanges as soon as I saw the alert on Polo. Your videos are informative. Thank you, and keep posting! ;)
I did a post today on this topic --- the new (and very smart) ShapeShift Security Head is doing a live feed tonite, late, on all this.
Info on my page here or my twitter. Keep up your good week Heidi.
and honestly I am still LOL at the comments back awhile ago on your acne post where the guy followed you cuz you are pretty and you asked him to read the posts, he might learn something LOL
I honestly have that stuck in my head and laugh outloud probably 5 or 6x/ week still. Truth.
