Cloudflare Security Breach: Change Your Passwords
[![ScreenShot2017-02-28at3_Fotor71c71.md.jpg](http://www.steemimg.com/images/2017/02/28/ScreenShot2017-02-28at3_Fotor71c71.md.jpg)](http://www.steemimg.com/image/O5fQp)

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](https://blog.cloudflare.com/incident-report-on-memory-leak-caused-by-cloudflare-parser-bug/) 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.

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! ;)
