Heartbleed security flaw...sites affected

[ET]

Not really public policy, but not Baptist related either, so I just put it here. If you've heard of the latest major security flaw affecting some popular web sites, this is a good article about it. Nice chart about half-way down with info on popular sites and whether or not they are affected. Just as a precaution, I've changed a couple of passwords.

Generally, the sites for which you might want to change your password are Facebook, Gmail, Yahoo, Netflix and Youtube to hit the major ones.

Here's the article:

On an unrelated note, the Daily Mail has some interesting historical photo collections from time to time...the two below are quite interesting:

Had to change my gmail password a couple of weeks ago--wonder if that is effective now?

When I was working for Gilmore Research, we had to change our passwords every 90 days, I think it was. At first they let us have two and go back and forth between them, but then they said we couldn't use one we'd used in the past I think it was 2 years. Not sure if it really helped, but it made the security people feel better.
