Re:Cloudflare bug data leak exposed by celticninja on Friday February 24, 2017 @10:23AM (#13724417)
I am almost certain someone is scanning archives for this data and reviewing it for anything sensitive now they know it exists. Yesterday when Google announced the SHA-1 collision, someone else took that and used it to unlock a 2.4btc reward, at the same point a bot scanning for this attempted to double spend the reward with a higher fee to claim the reward.

The first guy knew how to take advantage of the information but the second guy could sit and wait for someone else to solve it and take the reward, it also meant the bot programmer wasnt in a competition with everyone to submit the solution first.

Given that there are many bitcoin sites listed with cloudflare there is some potential reward in locating and scanning that data.
