OpenSSL Heartbleed Links April 10, 2014

April 11, 2014

Everything you need to know about the Heartbleed Bug - Timothy B. Lee - Vox

Pretty good description and intuitive layout to get to know everything about the Heartbleed Bug.

Heartbleed Bug: What Can You Do? - Brian Krebs - Krebs On Security

Okay so the full title is "The Passwords You Need to Change Right Now," which is being a little melodramatic (it's a ratings based site, they're looking for the clicks).

There is no sense in changing a password if they're still vulnerable because your new password would be immediately vulnerable. If a site offers two-factor authentication, turn it on (Google has it). To check websites there are a number of sites (and Chrome addons) you can use. Here are the ones I've used:
