What does this mean? In a nutshell, it means that various parts of a page could be cached with search engines that shouldn't be. This affected a large number of high profile websites across the internet. What data was leaked? CloudFlare estimate that 0.00003% of all page requests had the potential to disclose sensitive data in the http response. With the thousands of sites using CloudFlare all culminating to that 0.00003%, the risk of anything dangerous to you or this project being leaked is absurdly small. How does this affect rAthena? Generally speaking, it has low impact. The bug was identified in their parser chain for the email obfuscation, server-side excludes and automatic https rewrites, none of which we use but the html still goes through the parser regardless. What do we need to do? Firstly, stop worrying. If you want to change your password you can find this in your account setting. You could enable 2FA. Personally, I already have 2FA enabled for my forum account. You can read the full report from CloudFlare here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clearing that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
