I'm wating a week or so before I go and redo all the passwords on all my accounts. FFS it's gonna take like 6 hours.

Because not every website has fixed the vulnerability yet... Which is really ridiculous.

I am wondering if there would have been a way to push most website to update without openly explaining the vulnerability everywhere, by now most good hackers probably know how to exploit it, and all the website still vulnerable are listed online. Sounds like open market...

 

 

 

Do someone here really understand the openSSL vulnerability ? I would like to concretely understand what hackers could get.

Do they havve access to stored data on servers ? Allowing them to download huge list of users logins/password ?

Or is it more of a case by case vulnerability, where the hacker would need to look for my login information to get it ?

To my uninformed mind, it sounds like doing nothing is the best thing right now.. as long as you don't give the vulnerable sites reason to put your information in memory, I don't see why they would. Changing your password would definitely put your info in memory, so it seems like laying low is the best strategy until the exploit is fixed..

But again, I'm not a programmer or really familiar at all with the details of the exploit, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Not specially. if the bug is fixed on a website, it is better to change your password so if a hacker got your data he cannot access your account..

 

If you are using lastpass, you can see which of your passwords are safe to change:

Click on the lastpass icon > Tools > Security check.
