Daily reminder that sites “protected” by cloudflare are effectively MITM attacks. HTTPS is now even more worthless. Cloudflare can see everything. this is a known fact and not a theory.

And if you think Cloudflare aren’t being tapped by the NSA, you’re sadly sadly naive.

All the “privacy respecting” sites use it too. So remember, as soon as you see that cloudflare portal page, you can assume that everything you plug into the site is property of NSA Inc. Trust no one, and do not trust code being served to you over the web if it comes through CF, there is no way to know what they’ve modified.

    I think he’s saying they don’t have to if they can read it off of your pc or the server before it’s even encrypted. OS backdoors, in-app backdoors, hardware backdoors inside the CPU like Intel ME…

      there is a difference between targetted attacks like that and straight allowing them to dragnet you and millions of others

        I’m not arguing for cloud flare hahahh it’s horrible. I’m just saying, it’s just one of many ways your data is taken. I don’t see why the backdoors I listed should be used for targeted “attacks” only. They call it telemetry and it’s “used to improve the product you use” hehehh
