Cloudflare, American company that deals to supply servers around the world that allows you to protect and speed up Internet sites changing DNS, in recent months has had a severe open hole that put at risk the security of over 2 million websites .
In fact, because of a bug on server programming, which caused overload, part of the information that passed on these servers ran on the network. Among the finished sensitive data on the web we find passwords, access, browsing history data, IP addresses, chat but also passwords and credit card information and more.
Cloudflare is a service that is well back 5.5 million of websites including the FitBit big caliber, Yelp, Medium, CodePen, OKCupid, and Uber which of course they promptly advised the user to change passwords.
The flaw open from 22 September 2016 until February 18, 2017 has put at risk of the user data, but above all has left traces in the search engine cache.
