The Heartbleed Bug is a serious issue which puts your personal data and passwords at risk of being exposed. It has been on the morning news as well as on the internet. Hackers can obtain user names, credit card information, passwords and other sensitive information. Click on the link in the 1st sentence to learn whether or not your passwords need to be changed. Note that this is subject to change as more information becomes known. If you need to change your password(s) I suggest you do so ASAP. You should use a secure password if you are not already doing so. Click on link to learn more about using a secure password. Keep in mind you also will need to change your passwords on your mobile devices as well to your new password. I also suggest that for the sites that allow you to do so, use 2-Factor authentication. I know these things can be a pain especially 2-Factor authentication but as the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” One other thing and this is VERY IMPORTANT. If you receive an email to change your password and there is a link to do so, do not and I will repeat that again for emphasis. DO NOT click on the link to change it. It very well could be someone phishing for information in an attempt to obtain your password. Go to the website by typing the site in the address bar of your browser. Then change the password.
By taking precautions, you can reduce the chances of you being exposed.
