Heartbleed

[gazatron30 513]

 This is really important. For those of you who haven't heard, change all your passwords. The Heartbleed bug has been found and announced. This bug enabled attackers to see account information on different websites around 66% of the internet. It affected more that 500,000 websites. The vulnerability also means that that an attacker could steal a server's digital keys that are used to encrypt communications and get access to a company's secret internal documents. The data encryption program OpenSSL was subject to a security vulnerability and was available to attackers for several days. Website possibly affected include Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Instagram, Google, Curse, Mediafire, Dropbox, Pinterest, Reddit, Netflix, Yelp, YouTube, Livestream, Twitch, Vimeo, Flickr, Tumblr, Mojang, Minecraft, BattleNet, and Steam, just to name a few big ones. Some government sites were affected as well. You should change your passwords on all of these and other accounts that you haven't changed the passwords on in more than a week. Tanki was not affected, because it uses a different encryption program. But still, it is advised that you change passwords on other sites.

It'd be worth changing your Google account password, and maybe enabling 2-step verification for extra security.

Also, you can use this 'heartbleed checker' from LastPass to find out which websites have been affected, and whether the bug has been patched yet or not.
