Heartbleed Bug

[treetops68]

Good Morning all Abers,

Just to let you know, I've recieved an email this morning from Last Pass re. the above and it looks as though I may have to change a few passwords. Will keep you updated with any further developements as they happen.

I got an email from Google yesterday saying there had been a suspicious sign in by someone in India into my daughters gmail account, they stopped it but she's been advised to change her password. I wonder if this is to do with this Heartbleed Bug, guess I really have to change my passwords now but it's such a bloody hassle.

Internet sites that have been touched in any way by the bug will have to apply a 'patch' to make their security safe. Until a 'patch' is applied it is pointless changing passwords because it appears that the new passwords would be at risk, as if they had never been changed.

I think that folk should sit tight for a few more days before rushing to do anything; unless advised to do so by the sites concerned.
