The Heartbleed list: Passwords you need to change right now.

[Lord Percy]

Biggest Internet security blunder ever, apparently.

Basically your passwords were possibly exposed for websites including Google, Yahoo, Apple, eBay and plenty more.

edit: just seen this in the geek zone forum but some people (eg myself) might not look there that often, so here it is as a 'current affair' too...

You mean you don't change your passwords regularly anyway?

I wonder if this is how all the BT Yahoo logins have been compromised over the last 2 or so years? I have several customers who have BTYahoo web based email addresses at home and have to change the password several times a year, due to their logins being used to send out url based spam.

I did also wonder if the timing of this had anything to do with XP end of support, which happened a couple of days ago? This flaw has been around for 2 years, but was only discovered just after Microsoft want everyone to buy new copies of Windows.....mmmm

Is it just the SSL server end which needs patching, or do the PC's need a security update too?

I linked this on facebook and one of my friends said not to change them yet until the sites had been patched...

Is he talking shit?

Wait a week.
Change it again.

If you change it before the new security is in place, they'll already have your password rendering the new security useless

They have to be looking for the information. The media is acting like everything on the internet has been compromised. If they haven't taken your information yet, you're good. If they have, change your password, and they'll effectively have to re-take the information for it to be a concern.

So changing it now is probably a good idea.

Also, the BT Yahoo mail thing is true. I've had mine compromised several times and I haven't click on anything I wasn't expecting. I have come across other people with similar issues, too.

I don't think BT have even considered it an issue.

If facebook is at risk, they can have at mine, good luck trying to scam anyone out of anything posing as an Official Chilean Government Hooker who used to work at Victoria's Secret.

Doesn't make any difference WRT to police and government

Under Part 3 of Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) you've got to give them your password anyway or go to jail

Bye bye rights
