Uncommonly huge vulnerability in Internet security. Passwords may have been compromised.

Here’s the biggest “possibly affected” (src: http://mashable.com/2014/04/09/heartbleed-...tes-affected/):
- Facebook
- Gmail / Yahoo Mail
- Dropbox / Box / Github
- TurboTax / USAA
- WordPress

I think some of these sites matter because they can be used to authenticate you into other websites (if you have control of someone’s email account, you can get into any account they get). Others are places where you might’ve stored passwords.

“But no one would care to hack me.” Bots don’t have to care. They just use your account to spam, or farm your data and send you personalized scams.

Well, thankfully I never use Facebook or use my Yahoo mail anymore. But I should probably change that password just in case.

I swear, 'net vulnerabilities and stuff like that seem to be a common trend recently.
