In response to the question of whether or not I've patched up the epic Heartbleed vulnerability, why yes I have. Is it a good idea to change your password? ABSOLUTELY.

If you haven't heard much about it, allow me to sum up. Heartbleed has been an easily exploitable bug living in the internet wild for about two years. It has potentially compromised over 60% of websites that use SSL (i.e. pages sent securely via https). It is impossible to know if or how long it's been exploited. The discovery was only made public this week.

In other words, it's not a bad idea to change ALL of your internet passwords (this also includes email, instant messaging, VPN, etc). Ah, the false illusion of security on the internet.
