Urgently ban Cloudflare from Fantasy Grounds website

Change your passwords on every internet site you use - just in case folks - Cloudflare provides CDN and proxying for over 4million websites.

I was wondering about the status here with that bug. I only have real issues with it when I am in China and often it would just not accept anything I input or it would just not generate the input screen. I just got back from China and it seemed to be working better.

Could someone actually explain or post a link to something that explains what you all are talking about? Apparently these statements assume some knowledge that may not be as commonly known as assumed.

Just google cloudflare and a ton of these articles will come up.

Ok, thanks for the link.

To summarize, Cloudflare which FG and many other websites use had a bug that leaked some sensitive info including passwords starting last September. According to Smiteworks, Cloudflare said that www.FantasyGrounds.com was not affected.

As stated by Damned, just in case, you should change your passwords on ALL websites (because Cloudflare is used by millions of sites). Which is something, IMO, you should be doing REGULARLY anyway.

I would also recommend using a method such as outlined here to generate your passwords. Also, two factor authentication is one of the best ways to prevent access to any of your accounts even if your password is leaked. Maybe Doug can look into enabling 2FA for the website?
