Read it in my newspaper but I can’t be bothered to change anything, I will deal with the repercussion’s later. (I don’t know why anyone would hack me anyway)
I’ve had a few attempts on my email from like China and Vietnam over the last few months, obviously not directly related to Heartbleed, but people will try regardless, especially as my email contains potentially sensitive information regarding all other accounts and finances etc.
The best thing you can do is just change your password if you’re worried.
As far as I am aware, no Stonehearth website supports HTTPS and therefore is not affected by this exploit.
As a side note, exactly because HTTPS is not used, your password and other user data is transmitted in plain text, which means that a man-in-the-middle attack would yield your login information easily.
On a second side note, only websites (or applications) using OpenSSL are vulnerable (and have been for two years now) - so HTTPS does not necessarily equal vulnerable. I think that the server/client also needs to support heartbleed requests itself, which some things have disabled. /u/alienth had a pretty decent FAQ on that topic and I believe he knows about this stuff.
There’s numbers out there about “17% of 500M servers use SSL”, which would mean that ~9% of 500M servers could potentially be vulnerable.
But only if they have the faulty OpenSSL version - if they aren’t living on the bleeding edge, they should be safe. Over all, I think this might be hyped for more than it is.
Just a reminder: Using those sites, you are technically exploiting a security vulnerability… which means that, if somebody wanted to put it that way, you’re attacking said site. I would recommend not doing that.
