Heartbleed Virus/Bug

[reimerwesley]

Hey, I thought I would alert everyone that there is this virus going around called the Heartbleed. I looked into it and it basically exploits the flaws in opensource coding to hack others information really easily. Usernames, passwords, etc. Canada Revenue Agency has shut down their websites due to this. This bug has been ongoing for about two years now but it's only recently really getting noticed. I just thought I would let everyone know. And no this does not have to be some big issue in the groups, I'm just spreading awareness. HAIL SATAN

actually it is a big issue.
this bug allows for someone to get access to information they are not allowed to (like password/emails/etc),This vulnerability allows hackers to steal this protected information. this heartbleed bug affected many big websites such as google,yahoo,yahoo mail,tumblr,twitter.instagram ,banks and many other names.
currently they updated their secured their website but you may have to change your passwords just to be safe.create a completely new password and not one used previously as there is a big chance that it got exposed on other websites you have used it.

every website that uses ssl to encrypt data(every website that starts with https ) was affected by this bug.
