A major security flaw means you have to change your passwords again.

By Hayley Tsukayama

A security flaw at Cloudflare means that Uber, Fitbit, OK Cupid and other users may have had their passwords exposed. But there's no need for panic.

The security firm Cloudflare disclosed late Thursday that a long-running bug in its security systems may have leaked information, including potentially personal information, from thousands of sites including Uber, Fitbit and OKCupid.

The problem was first uncovered by Google security expert Tavis Ormandy, who let Cloudflare know about the issue on Feb. 18. But the service had been leaking information for months in a way that allowed search engines to pick it up, according to Cloudflare.
