Damage control PR at it's finest. The CTO should resign over this terrible advice. No one knows just how much cached data is out there or just how much this was triggered since September 2016, and to assume the best case scenario is irresponsible and reeks of CYA instead of putting the public interest first.

Whether or not he does I hope companies who use CloudFlare strongly consider alternatives. His comment certainly isn't out of ignorance, he has blogged at length on the necessity of password security and lambasted other companies for their behaviour in situations such as this.

Oh, he's a horrible person anyways, let alone the misleading and very damaging "help" of signalling to users there's no security problem.

That above is a pretty harsh thing to allege. So here's proof, from his own mouth.

First, he continually berates because "he called and Brian Krebs never responded".. Well, he invited him on stage of a BlackHat conference.

Secondly, the cloudflare CEO states that the booters (ddos pay-as-you-go sites protected by cloudflare) don't even pay, or pay with stolen credit cards. And admits is "just a disaster".

Thridly, a direct insult towards Krebs onstage "Well, who needs to actually ask questions as a journalist?" 48:08 ... No. Just no. Absolutely not.

And if I can find the post, Matthew Prince on here posted this video as a defence against a Tor dispute. Somehow, he thinks it's somehow enlightened and upright. My opinion, I don't believe so at all.
