‘Widespread Encryption Bug, Heartbleed, Can Capture Your Passwords’ – ‘Mashable’

Adario Strange says, “Some websites running SSL encryption, such as Airbnb, Pinterest, USMagazine.com, NASA, and Creative Commons, among others, were exposed to a major security bug called Heartbleed on Monday.

The bug was reportedly discovered by a member of Google’s security team and a software security firm called Codenomicon.

A number of other websites, according to a list making the rounds on GitHub, may be vulnerable to the bug as well“.
