Heartbleed SSL Bug Across the entire Net

[j03]

I'll just say this now so you don't have to run around thinking your account is hacked:

Fortunately, for where we stand, clraik does not host any SSL content. Rest assured, your account information + other related content is safe here.

Earlier this week, a serious bug was found by a team member of Google Security for a very popular security tool called SSL.

The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs).


The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.

But hold on...

Just because we aren't affected directly, does not mean we aren't affected at all! Your information may tie with other accounts you have hosted online, like your e-mails, game accounts, etc. that may have been compromised in the masses by hackers. This information will be sold in black markets, if not to be used to locate other accounts owned by the victims.

I strongly recommend (you need an account to see links), as well as your passwords on any other accounts you use online!

Thanks everyone!

Saw it earlier this week, but noticed we don't use SSL here so I didn't even ask you about it xD

Should i change my bank account info and my paypal info or will I be fine?

[Victoria]

Honestly I would change all of those passwords just to be on the safe side. Never hurts to go the safe route! I'm pretty sure you get notifications on your e-mail about your paypal and bank account so change your e-mail password too!
