Many popular websites and services have been affected by an
encryption flaw called the Heartbleed
bug. Some of the websites affected include ones you may use every day, like
Gmail, Facebook and Pinterest. If you use these websites or other networks affected
(find a full list at http://bit.sd.gov/heartbleed.aspx) your sensitive account information could have been exposed over the last two
years.
If you use a site listed (Facebook Gmail, etc.) – it is
recommended you change your passwords right away.
