Cloudflare Bug (Cloudbleed) Update - We Ar...

rpr's Photo rpr 24 Feb 2017

Hello all,

 

In case you are a techie and saw this mentioned on any news sites, redpepperracing.com *does* use Cloudflare, but does *NOT* use any of the affected services. I only use Cloudflare for DNS and nothing more. No information is cached using their service, so the bug does not impact our users privacy or any information leakage. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. You should also investigate this on your own, as many high profile sites were involved in the data leakage problem, so accounts on other sites may be compromised. Some useful links:
