    Is this something that I should be concerned with?

    I see Boards.ie is mentioned as a notable site, doesn't say if it's effected or not tho!

    heres a link to the story github.com

    My understanding is that any website which uses CloudFlair for HTTPS traffic has potentially leaked the data to other users and online caches. So you should change the password for any site that uses cloudflair

    Mods are saying Boards isn't affected, it's on an announcement on the homepage.

    Boards data wasn't found on any of the caches that CloudFlair searched. That doesn't mean that boards.ie user data isn't affected and isn't available in the wild. As a safety precaution you should change your password
