I seen this last night but didn't give it much notice. Apparently there was a bug in the CloudFlare platform that leaked sensitive information through a memory leak. Usernames, Passwords, and 2 Factor Authorization codes are at risk. This was similar to the Heartbleed bug that affected most Android devices awhile back. CloudFlare is a company that protects several cryptocurrency exchanges from DDoS attacks. (Denial of Service Attacks).
