Re: [Warning][Cloudbleed bug] Change your passwords ASAP
I don’t see anyone talking about this here so I’ll start it here because of its importance and move it to services discussion later.
TL;DR: Bitcointalk is not affected, there is a small chance exchanges and web wallets are affected. To be safe change your password and enable 2 Factor Authentication.
You may have heard about the Cloudflare bug that leaked lots of sensitive information if not read more about the details here:
In any case you should change all your passwords on services that were using Cloudflare and are affected by this bug in order to be safe. You can see more information and the list of affected services here:
Also there is a website to check if a website was using Cloudflare (not sure how reliable it is):
Name

Bitcointalk

No (does not use Cloudflare)
Bitstamp

* These sites may or may not be affected by the bug, but it is safer if you change your password immediately and enable 2FA. Better safe than sorry ** Just checked a couple of gambling sites, and they all use Cloudflare. Not going to list them here since they are of less importance but you have been warned.
Help me complete the table.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.
— I have to start using a password manager to deal everything now which i have been avoiding all this while.
Yeah well, I’ve tried using one before but decided against continuing its use after some time. It’s just an additional worry. Frankly, couldn’t stop worrying that the password manager I use would be the weak point, and then ALL of my accounts woulda been compromised. Decided to go old school instead and keep a hard copy. Nothing better than pen and paper.
Almost every site uses CloudFlare nowadays. AND that bug has been there for months.
I wonder when bitcointalk would use 2fa. It would be great if they decide to implement it soon..
They’re implementing it in the beta forum, but who knows when that thing’s coming out. It’s been years.
Hats off to Theymos for sticking to his decision on not using cloudflare because of the same security reason he envisioned long back when every one was asking to add cloudflare to protect from DDOS. Change all the passwords to be safe and enable 2FA to safe guard all your accounts .Majority of the sites use cloudfare ,so check that out and change the passwords to be on the safe side.
Congrats, you copied my post, added a generic warning and got paid for it. Hats off to you. Im sure you haven’t even read that post, and of course you won’t read this one, you spammer. Ill take it all back if you actually read this, without having someone else notify you about this.
