By now you’ve probably heard
about Heartbleed, the massive internet security bug that has put
pretty much everyone’s privacy at risk. Heartbleed is a hole in the
encryption software used by the majority of websites on the internet.
The bug creates an information leak that allows hackers to gain
access to people’s personal data- and researchers say it’s been
going on for as long as two years or more. So what can you do to
protect yourself? First, log out of all websites. You may want to
change your passwords too, but not until after the websites in
question have fixed the bug. Mashable has a helpful list of
the sites where you should change your password immediately, and
which are safe. Click here to check it out.
