What is Heartbleed?
All the big guys were affected – Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, banking firms, you name it, so assume your sites have been affected.
What to do!
- You need to check if your site was affected – GO HERE or HERE
- Then you need to check if that site has been fixed. Check if your site has been fixed here.
- If your site has not been fixed – DO NOT change your password yet. Wait until the site has been updated. They are all being fixed now.
3 things you can do to protect yourself
- Check the sites you use daily
- After you’ve confirmed that the site or service has installed a security update, change your passwords.
- For at least the next week, keep an eye on any of your sensitive online accounts (banking, storage, webmail) for suspicious activity.
