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 hope you realize that virtually every CDN provider does the exact same thing in similar ways. Sites that use Akamai, AWS, Google cloud, Fastly, etc. all give those companies access to unencrypted content. It’s just how CDNs work…
ofc. they are all catch-alls for the NSA. people think the NSA is monitoring traffic as in looking over our shoulders. like direct interception. nope, they just let a few megacorps convince the entire internet to pass everything through their servers, then buy off all the data.
Once again, the earthly principle of all things being ultimately voluntarily, is still true.
Yeah, the NSA isn’t already completely integrated into telco itself. It needs these other companies to execute its tasks. You get it.
if they want to bypass all TLS, then yes, mr smarty pants
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
