Heartbleed bug - change your passwords!

http://heartbleed.com/

Basically a bug was just discovered in web servers that could potentially have leaked passwords and other personal information.

It would probably be a good idea to change your passwords on any sites that you know use secure login/communication (and any other websites you use the same passwords on) after the bug is fixed.

And in case you were wondering, this doesn't affect Spyroforum, unless you used the same password on Spyroforum as you did on another site that was affected and someone for some reason was interested in stealing your Spyroforum account. tongue

Thank goodness hope it gets sorted out. I hate bugs and glitches and stuff they suck and cause major damage but can be fixed.

Re: Heartbleed bug - change your passwords!

I can't even count how many passwords I'd have to change...

Re: Heartbleed bug - change your passwords!

I'm fairly certain I'd be fine, but I changed my passwords anyway; it was about time. When I'm changing all of my passwords, it usually takes 45 minutes or so tongue

Thanks for posting this. I don't think I would have heard about this otherwise. (I should really start keeping up with current events..)
