'Cloudbleed' Bug may have exposed millions of sites' user passwords! In the links that follow, there are a huge listing of most of te sites affected but not all of them. There are some very big names that have been affected by this. Keep in mind that this does not mean you have been or will be infected but that a possibly infected may be forthcoming! You have been warned so, please, change your passwords!

This (and more) are one of the MANY reasons why I do not use anything named "cloud"! Here's some sites with more info on this:

If your hosting has a cloudflare feature in cPanel DO NOT USE IT!!! This is part of the problem...

My cPanel dose have CloudFlare, but I've never used it... don't actually know what it's used for.

It's supposed to help make your site run faster, as far as I'm aware of. I have it too but have never used it cause it is "cloud" based.
