National Parks Traveler Housekeeping: Passwords And Policies

Published Date

Have you changed your Traveler password lately? Now would be a good time to do so.

The reason is because Cloudflare, a company that provides content optimization for the Traveler as well as Fortune 500 companies -- millions of websites, overall -- announced the other day that they had a breach that leaked passwords, session cookies, and other user data from sites they work with. The odds that any data was leaked from the Traveler are pretty low; analysts figure that, overall, an infinitesimal amount of Cloudflare data was leaked. 

Of course, Traveler does not store any sensitive data, just names and passwords of those folks who create accounts. Nevertheless, it's always a good practice these days to change your passwords frequently, especially if you use one password for multiple sites.

While we have your attention, we'd also like to point out that earlier this year we posted our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy on the site. Check them out when you get a chance.

Not entirely related but I always seem to get stale pages from this website. I have refresh the pages more than other website I frequent. It seems that caching policy is too aggressive.
