Cloudflare Launches One-Click Content Credentials
Cloudflare has announced a new, one-click solution for content creators and publishers to seamlessly preserve the digital history of an image–from how an image was created, and by whom, to edits and resizes–across the Cloudflare network. By attaching this digital 'nutrition label,' or Content Credentials, directly to an image, creators can be credited for their work and consumers can easily verify the origin and alterations of digital content. Content Credentials is based on standards from the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), an open technical standard providing publishers, creators, and consumers the ability to trace the origin of different types of media. In addition, Cloudflare has also joined the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), an Adobe-led community of over 4,000 members globally committed to driving mainstream support and adoption for Content Credentials as the global standard for content provenance and authenticity.
The ability to instantly share photos globally on the Internet comes with a potential drawback: once uploaded, it becomes difficult to verify an image's authenticity. The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has accelerated this challenge by lowering the barriers to image manipulation. It is easier than ever to create highly convincing fake photos, which can make it difficult for consumers to understand what is trustworthy. If a photo of a celebrity endorsing a product or a video of UFOs goes viral, the ability to confirm if it was taken with a smartphone or camera, or wholly created using an AI tool, can provide critical context to help consumers make informed decisions.
'The future of the Internet depends on trust and authenticity,' said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO, Cloudflare. 'By integrating Content Credentials across our global network, we can help media and news organizations to verify authenticity and maintain ownership of their work, wherever it moves online. This isn't just about securing individual images—it's about giving publishers the tools they need to preserve trust and remain relevant in the age of AI.'
'Cloudflare's implementation of Content Credentials is a major win for Content Credentials, particularly at the final stages of the content creation and management lifecycle' said Andy Parsons, Senior Director Content Authenticity at Adobe. 'Ensuring these credentials are always available at the edge provides valuable 'trust signals,' ensuring those who interact with content online have confidence in what they engage with, especially with the rise of generative AI and deepfakes. Cloudflare helps strengthen the integrity of digital content, supporting content authenticity for news organizations and journalists, while also enabling creators to maintain proper attribution.'
Users of Cloudflare Images, Cloudflare's image storage and optimization solution, can now with one click choose to 'Preserve Content Credentials,' safeguarding embedded, secure metadata across the entire global Cloudflare network. Once enabled, if an image is resized or transformed in any way using Cloudflare Images, those transformations are recorded using public key cryptography. Anyone who then views the image, or downloads it directly, can verify its digital history using the Adobe Content Authenticity Inspect tool. With today's announcement, Cloudflare is helping to drive global scale and adoption of this valuable content provenance and authenticity standard by making it available across its global network. 0 0

16 billion passwords leaked in largest data breach, find researchers
In what is being touted as the largest data breach ever, 16 billion login credentials were found exposed. Researchers from Cybernews have discovered a number of supermassive datasets, with billions of login credentials. The findings were the result of an ongoing investigation that the team started at the beginning of 2025. So far, they've discovered 30 exposed datasets containing from tens of millions to over 3.5 billion records each. The leak includes billions of login credentials from social media, VPNs, developer portals and user accounts for all the major vendors. According to the report, most of the information followed a clear structure: URL, followed by login details and a password. They said that this is exactly how most modern infostealers – malicious software stealing sensitive information – collect data. Which services are affected? Researchers state that the the leak opened the door to 'pretty much any online service imaginable, from Apple, Facebook, and Google, to GitHub, Telegram, and various government services.' 'With over 16 billion login records exposed, cybercriminals now have unprecedented access to personal credentials that can be used for account takeover, identity theft, and highly targeted phishing' the researchers said. They emphasized that it is especially concerning alarming that these aren't just old breaches being recycled. 'This is fresh, weaponizable intelligence at scale,' researchers said. How can you protect yourself? The researchers say that maintaining basic cyber hygiene is essential. You can use a password manager to generate strong, unique passwords, and update them regularly. Users should also review their systems for infostealers, to avoid losing their data to attackers.

Cloudflare celebrates the 11th anniversary of its iconic free cybersecurity program Galileo
Cloudflare commemorates the 11th anniversary of Project Galileo, its flagship initiative delivering free cybersecurity protection to at‑risk public‑interest organizations across the globe. Since launching in June 2014, the program has defended journalists, human‑rights groups, independent media, environmental activists, and others working on the frontlines of democracy, civil society, and environmental justice. Highlights of Project Galileo's Eleventh Year: An interactive Cloudflare Radar report providing insights into the cyber threats faced by at-risk public interest organizations protected under the project. An expanded commitment to digital rights in the Asia-Pacific region with two new Project Galileo partners. New stories from organizations protected by Project Galileo working on the frontlines of civil society, human rights, and journalism from around the world. Tracking and reporting on cyberattacks with the Project Galileo 11th anniversary Radar report To mark Project Galileo's 11th anniversary, Cloudflare published a new Radar report that shares data on cyberattacks targeting organizations protected by the program. It provides insights into the types of threats these groups face, with the goal of better supporting researchers, civil society, and vulnerable groups by promoting the best cybersecurity practices. Key insights include: A growing trend in DDoS attacks against these organizations, becoming more common than attempts to exploit traditional web application vulnerabilities. Between May 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, Cloudflare blocked 108.9 billion cyber threats against organizations protected under Project Galileo. This is an average of nearly 325.2 million cyber attacks per day over the 11-month period, and a 241% increase from our 2024 Radar report. Journalists and news organizations experienced the highest volume of attacks, with over 97 billion requests blocked as potential threats across 315 different organizations. The peak attack traffic was recorded on September 28, 2024. Ranked second was the Human Rights/Civil Society Organizations category, which saw 8.9 billion requests blocked, with peak attack activity occurring on October 8, 2024. Cloudflare onboarded the Belarusian Investigative Center, an independent journalism organization, on September 27, 2024, while it was already under attack. A major application-layer DDoS attack followed on September 28, generating over 28 billion requests in a single day. Many of the targets were investigative journalism outlets operating in regions under government pressure (such as Russia and Belarus), as well as NGOs focused on combating racism and extremism, and defending workers' rights. Tech4Peace, a human rights organization focused on digital rights, was targeted by a 12-day attack beginning March 10, 2025, that delivered over 2.7 billion requests. The attack saw prolonged, lower-intensity attacks and short, high-intensity bursts. This deliberate variation in tactics reveals a coordinated approach, showing how attackers adapted their methods throughout the attack. The full Radar report includes additional information on public interest organizations, human and civil rights groups, environmental organizations, and those involved in disaster and humanitarian relief. The dashboard also serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and advocates working to protect public interest organizations worldwide. Global partners are the key to Project Galileo's continued growth Partnerships are central to the success of Project Galileo. Cloudflare relies on a network of 56 trusted civil society organizations around the world to identify and support groups that would benefit from its cybersecurity protection. With the help of these partners, the company continues to expand its reach, delivering vital tools and resources to communities most in need of digital defense. Continuing Support for Vulnerable Groups Worldwide In 2025, many of Cloudflare's Project Galileo partners have faced significant funding cuts, impacting their ability to support communities, defend human rights, and uphold democratic values.

To reverse losses, Chinese airlines venture into livestreaming
BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2025 – The livestreaming-commerce model has taken the world by storm in recent years. In China, numerous enterprises are actively venturing into livestreaming e-commerce, including several airlines. In 2024, Hainan Airlines established HNA Preferred Business Co., Ltd., specializing in Internet livestreaming and sales. Notably, as early as 2020, the airline began piloting livestream sales on platforms like Ctrip, primarily offering flight tickets and hotel packages—making it one of China's earliest adopters of livestream commerce in the aviation sector. Hainan Airlines released a loss forecast for the first half of 2024. Industry analysts suggest its progressive push into livestreaming likely stems from challenges in its core business, where achieving structural profit growth has become increasingly difficult, compelling the company to seek new revenue streams. ADVERTISEMENT Flight attendant Zhuang Xuan of Hainan Airlines began participating in livestreaming e-commerce operations in 2022. Originally from China's Taiwan region, Zhuang has garnered a significant following due to her sweet appearance and distinctive Taiwan accent, driving considerable traffic to the airline's livestream initiatives. 'A sense of belonging means feeling that you have influence or a rightful place within your team—especially when your capabilities are recognized by everyone,' Zhuang remarked. This young professional, under 30, is now pushing her boundaries at Hainan Airlines while seeking her own sense of belonging.
