Heartbleed

Not to worry, nothing on this site is affected. Your passwords are being sent as plaintext over the internet. So yeah...
(If everyone wants, we can get an SSL certificate for the site. StartCom gives noncommercial ones out for free. I've never set one up on an Apache server before, tho.)

I found out yesterday that my company is immune to Heartbleed, thanks to our firewalls being so ancient that they've never seen a version of OpenSSL that had the vulnerability.
Somehow that didn't make me feel better.

Your software is too outdated to have bugs?
Dude, what software are you running on?
Or what OS for that matter?
Windows 2000?

The bug was introduced about two years ago. That's a pretty long time for the Internet, but corporations aren't known for keeping on top of new innovations and updates. Anyone who hasn't changed their protocols in that time would be OK, I think.

Don't worry, the tech shop noobies in my town didn't know what windows 95 was. And they were older then me...
