Data compromise: Cloudflare has been leaking information for months, jeopardising supposedly secure data at major websites including Uber, OKCupid, Fitbit and 1Password.

Internet users Friday were being urged to change all their passwords in the wake of a Cloudflare bug that could have leaked passwords, messages and more from website visits.

A Cloudflare service used by millions of websites to enhance security and performance said that it had fixed the flaw quickly after being alerted a week ago by Google researcher Tavis Ormandy.
