Külföldi torrent oldalak Pirates of the UK | PotUK Cloudflare HTTPS traffic leak

I feel this warrants a 'force-read' as whilst it doesn't directly affect this website it will affect some (or even all) members of the PotUK community.

Quote:
Between 2016-09-22 - 2017-02-18 passwords, private messages, API keys, and other sensitive data were leaked by Cloudflare to random requesters. Data was cached by search engines, and may have been collected by random adversaries over the past few months.

Requests to sites with the HTML rewrite features enabled triggered a pointer math bug. Once the bug was triggered the response would include data from ANY other Cloudflare proxy customer that happened to be in memory at the time. Meaning a request for a page with one of those features could include data from Uber or one of the many other customers that didn't use those features. So the potential impact is every single one of the sites using Cloudflare's proxy services (including HTTP & HTTPS proxy).

"The greatest period of impact was from February 13 and February 18 with around 1 in every 3,300,000 HTTP requests through Cloudflare potentially resulting in memory leakage (that’s about 0.00003% of requests), potential of 100k-200k paged with private data leaked every day"

Just because the leak happened does NOT mean your account has been compromised so don't panic..... but if you do have an account on any of the websites listed then somebody somewhere may now have the password as well as you.... so change it!
