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 don’t believe that the NSA has a portal giving them direct access (probably naive).

    They definitely have a secret agent 🕵️‍♀️ nerd on the inside providing intel on the structure. Maybe inject exploits or guide them when needed.

    They definitely have a direct e-mail address to cloudflare legal to serve national security letters that cloud flare is obligated to comply with. Which is a portal with extra steps, but which cloud flare can raise a fuss if they notice the requests are turning into vacuum cleaners, and not union membership research.

      Internet traffic gets mirrored to NSA data centers, that’s old news from the Snowden leak.
