Heartbleed

before you change passwords you need to find out if the website has updated the SSL version if they havent its a waste of time changing the passwords as the system will still be vunrable to attack

see mumsnet was attacked so hackers cant be all that bad

MILF hunters eh? Can't say I blame them, but mumsnet would be a lot of chaff for very little wheat I reckon

That means who ever hacked into mumsnet the other day, is a bigger bunch of pervs than we are!!

wouldn't surprise me if the hackers were from the Govt trying to find out who was on benefits and who is claiming illegally!!

Has anyone received an email saying you need to change your password, from your bank for example?

I stopped watching it after Nick Berry left.

id be suspicious of any communication by email for anyone claiming to be your bank or any institution

if you want to change passwords then go via the companys website not by any link you click on in any email

The security company McAfee has a simple checker to test if a website is vulnerable to the bug.
