Regarding Cloudflare Breach (Patreon)

As we will discuss on the show, a vulnerability in CloudFlare was discovered that could in some situations expose passwords. That vulnerability was fixed over the weekend. Passwords encrypted properly in transit should still be protected and no real-world exploitation has been found. The vulnerability did not dump all data either, so not every password ever entered at sites was exposed.

However, while this affects millions of sites, that includes Patreon.

In an abundance of caution, you may want to change your passwords at many sites, including Patreon.

I highly encourage you to turn on two-factor authentication at Patreon and any service that offers it. This is a good mitigation against such vulnerabilities.

Thank you for all your support here on Patreon. I am sorry for the inconvenience this causes.

Cheers,

Tom
