Now, it is true that many host servers do this logging, even temporarily. But, to access them, you will need to do a deeper investigation. I don't even have time to scratch my itch, let alone scrape IPs... I have more to do in life.
For the record: I wasn't blaming you. I too use default Apache logs on my server, and I too only look at it when there's severe abuse going on.
I think cloudflare will store some user data anyway, right? Like ip of people who sent files. ?
This comes to mind:
What I meant is that Cloudflare can see your unencrypted password when you log in. It's still encrypted from the real server to Cloudflare and from Cloudflare to you. So it's not blatantly insecure except in that Cloudflare is very probably an NSA honeypot, and it's not like the NSA is going to steal your password in order to scam people on bitcointalk.org or anything.
Since the forum uses Cloudflare already, that doesn't add any new risks.
Sorry, you have been blocked
You are unable to access talkimg.com
I get the same. It's the same message Cloudflare gives on Bitcointalk when you're trying to post something Cloudflare doesn't like. Just a few weeks ago that was
/etc/hosts.
Likely the forum is the main target and the attackers just saw talkimg as likely the easier target.
Take down the image hosting and image proxy, take down ChartBuddy. No ChartBuddy, no hourly price updates. This is food for conspiracies
If you can see this image, the forum's image proxy is working fine:
Negative, on my side.
Same here.
How is ChartBuddy doing it?
It links to an IP-address instead of a domain name. Does that mean the attack is on the image proxy's DNS server?
