It doesn't have to be a secret crawler. Just one that wasn't contacted by cloudflare (I didn't see any non-US search providers mentioned).

- foodstances 10y agoI wonder if archive.org or archive.is have anything cached...
- doesXcloudflare 10y agoarchive.is was red, meaning it uses Cloudflare.... www.doesitusecloudflare.com
- EvanAnderson 10y agoThe concern isn't that they use Cloudflare. The concern is that they're spidering the Internet, and therefore might be storing cached data that Cloudflare leaked.
- tomjakubowski 10y agowhile the internet archive / wayback machine do spider, I think archive.is only archives a site "on demand"
- eriknstr 10y agoYes but with all the people and even automated 3rd-party scripts making use of archive.is, it is practically a spider.
- teh_klev 10y agoNo TLS on this site?
- kevcampb 10y agoIn other words, Baidu are currently sitting on a treasure trove of keys and passwords.
- Kalium 10y agoPossibly not, Baidu and CloudFlare have a well-documented long-term partnership.
- snaky 10y agoMaybe there's much more to worry about Baidu's particular not-so-well documented, but longer-term partnerships.
- Kalium 10y agoOh, absolutely. Baidu's relationship with their host nation should be a source of concern for us all. I've heard some interesting and unusual stories. But they're probably aware of this issue and know enough to go looking to purge their caches.
- seesomesense 10y agoOr Baidu know enough to not purge their caches. Think of the amount of tangible gratitude that their host nation would show them for access to some potentially tasty information....
