reader Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 NOTE: I'm no computer guru. I know how to turn the machine and can find my way around the net with relative ease. But that's it. I'm passing along this information because it seems widespread and PC magazine says passwords on some sites we use have been compromised. In the second link below from the Washington Post, there's a link that enables you to determine if your website is among those affected. I found one that I frequently use is. You're probably much-better technically aware than me to evaluated these articles. From PC magazine Web services company Cloudflare recently patched a bug that could have exposed a broad range of customer data like passwords, chat transcripts, and other information stored by millions of websites. The bug, discovered by Google security researcher Tavis Ormandy, allowed sensitive data from Cloudflare-powered websites to be cached by search engines, including Google. "I'm finding private messages from major dating sites, full messages from a well-known chat service, online password manager data, frames from adult video sites, hotel bookings," Ormandy wrote in a Feb. 19 blog post. "We're talking full https requests, client IP addresses, full responses, cookies, passwords, keys, data, everything." http://www.pcmag.com/news/351962/cloudflare-leak-exposed-data-from-millions-of-websites -------------- From Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/02/24/a-major-security-flaw-means-you-have-to-change-your-passwords-again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
