Heartbleed Vulnerability?

Post by tayalltheway »

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?

I just did an article on this for someone. :D

You change your password after they patch the server.
