As you may have heard by now, a vicious security hole has been found in one of the most common pieces of Internet software. There’s nothing you can do about this problem; it’s something web sites and hosting companies must fix. Until then, you need to be aware that information could (and that’s a could) be compromised, especially passwords and financial data.
No one is reporting any exploits of the problem yet, which has been dubbed Heartbleed. Eventually, you will most likely receive an email from an affected web site explaining that you really should change your account password. Until then, keep an eye on the situation. I’ll post any additional information here on the Wamblog.
