Hi Everyone,
By now you’ve heard about the large number of websites that were affected by the Heartbleed SSL bug. SSL is what makes online transactions secure over the internet and keeps your yahoo and gmail safe. Except that this particular SSL bug not only affected a huge number of websites but it has also been active for the past 2 years, possibly leaving your passwords on these sites exposed.
Here is a list of popular websites with annotations indicating whether or not we know they were exposed.

If you have an account on one of the definitely affected websites, you should change your password on it ASAP.
For websites where the experts aren’t sure if they were exposed, hold off on changing those passwords for now. The reason is if it turns out they were exposed and patch their site later, you would need to change your password on those sites AGAIN.
Please let us know if anyone has any questions.
Thanks,
Albert
