The
Heartbleed Hit List: The Passwords You Need to Change Right Now
Some
Internet companies that were vulnerable to the bug have already updated their
servers with a security patch to fix the issue. This means you'll need to go in
and change your passwords immediately for these sites. Even that is no guarantee that your information wasn't already
compromised, but there's also no indication that hackers knew about
the exploit before this week. The companies that are advising customers to
change their passwords are doing so as a precautionary measure.
Although
changing your password regularly is always good practice, if a site or service
hasn't yet patched the problem, your information will still be vulnerable.
Also,
if you reused the same password on multiple sites, and one of those sites was
vulnerable, you'll need to change the password everywhere. It's not a good idea
to use the same password across multiple sites, anyway.
We'll
keep updating the list as new information comes in. . . . .
