Summary

On February 24, 2014, Matthew Prince announced that Cloudflare had acquired anti-malware firm StopTheHacker to enhance its network security and ensure it is not used for malware distribution. The partnership aimed at providing better protection against existing infections when websites first sign up with Cloudflare. Since StopTheHacker's malware scanning service was already available through the Cloudflare Apps Marketplace, this acquisition would strengthen their collaboration and improve customer experience. The integration of both services would enable immediate remediation of malware and vulnerabilities, providing instant patching services to clean up infections and eliminate vulnerabilities without waiting for code changes.
