Hi Eveyone,
There has been a massive issue found in the SSL (Secure Layer) that we all use online while purchasing and doing banking.
(Dont panic, This may not have affected anyone?)
The main issue was found by a company that is on the side of Good, not eval, so we all can breath a little bit better…
You may not be affected, But the main thing now is with all your major accounts, Banking, Ebay, Paypal etc.. Change the passwords..!
There is also more detail on the website link below.!
Please pass on…!
So what can I do to protect myself?
Since the vulnerability has been in OpenSSL for approximately two years and utilising it leaves no trace, assume that your accounts may be compromised. You should change passwords immediately, especially for services where privacy or security are major concerns.
Meanwhile, the researchers who discovered the flaw let the developers behind OpenSSL know several days before announcing the vulnerability, so it was fixed before word got out yesterday. Most major service providers should already be updating their sites, so the bug will be less prevalent over coming weeks.
Cheers. Alex.
