RE: Phil Fish and the whole CloudFlare debacle.
It's entirely false. CloudFlare isn't a web host. It doesn't allow you to change the content of your website. In reality, it's a Content Delivery Network (a.k.a. CDN). The purpose of a CDN is to deliver images, cache your website, etc. You don't have to hack into CloudFlare in order to hack the website. You don't have to hack into CloudFlare to upload things. CloudFlare is just a layer around the website, so to speak.
On a final note, CloudFlare doesn't have two factor authorisation by default either. Granted, it is touted to improve your website's security.
I'm not entirely convinced Fish has doxxed himself, despite my dislike for the guy. No one would be this stupid. However, I am convinced that neither /v/ or 4chan doxxed him. They wouldn't do it in this manner or in this stupid format.
