What's funny is that changing passwords won't matter. This is a server/software side problem not a user. You change the password without the site patching then the hacker has new password.
Reality is no one is safe on Internet. If hackers want your info they can get it. It's luck if the draw.
We should be able to sue nsa for any problems we may have, but we all know that's not going to happen.

quote:True, but not exactly. 1. Sites need to patch. 2. All the major sites will or have done so. 3. This is a packet capture attack that doesn't target one individual. IE, no one is getting all of your passwords.

quote:True, in a way perhaps. But plain text data isn't secure data. The issue with this vulnerability in OpenSSL (which in general, neither MS or Apple uses) is that the public key/private key secure connections have been compromised.
