Heartbleed Vulnerability?
Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2014 10:52 am
Hi all,
I've read in the news about the big "Heartbleed" SSL vulnerability, and while I don't claim to understand how it all works, one of the articles I read had a tool where you could check whether sites you use often are still vulnerable. I checked on CC specifically, and it is indeed still using the old SSL version that can be hacked. The advice I read said to change your password now (which I did) and then change it again whenever the issue is addressed, but does anyone more technologically inclined know of anything else we should be doing in the meantime?
