The 'Bleeding' edge of security!

Over the past few weeks, we've learned about a serious security issue known as the 'Heartbleed Bug'.  Rather than go into detail about this, I am just going to point out a few references:

Heartbleed Bug Details

Heartbleed Bug Test

Stay informed about these kind of vulnerabilities.  They affect everyone and they're popping up every day.  I would warn though to not conform to the 'sky-is-falling' mentality.  This particular vulnerability is not new... it's just recently been brought into the light.  You're no more at risk now then you were a year ago... you're just aware of one more risk out there. 

Safe surfing!
