Cloudbleed Indicator

-

TINYURL.COM/APC440-INDICATOR How do you know if a website is using Cloudflare or not? This handy Chrome extension (with a Firefox add-on in the making) places a little icon on your browser’s toolbar. If it remains greyed out, then you’re safe. If the icon changes to a red cloud, then that site has potentiall­y been affected by Cloudbleed’s leak, and you may want to consider changing your password to that site, if applicable. While the name ‘Cloudbleed Indicator’ might seem slightly misleading, we would like to emphasise that this tool does not detect the Cloudbleed bug itself, rather it alerts you of a possible vulnerabil­ity to it.
