Some of you may have heard stories in the news lately about the HeartBleed “Virus” attacking some very high-profile websites. It was definitely a big deal and it was a very surprising issue for the tech world because it went after a specific, very widely used method of securing websites that had, up until this point, been viewed as very secure.
Most security authorities have advised that people change passwords on their more sensitive logins, which we would recommend as well. A note to WordPress users, although WordPress doesn’t typically use the style of security (called “SSL”) that was affected by HeartBleed, WordPress has updated their files for further protection, so it’s a good idea to update to the most recent version of WordPress as well.
Please continue to be careful about where you login to your site and as always protect your passwords!
