Heartbleed
Is the forum affected by it? Also I just learned that you might want to change your minecraft password.

Re: Heartbleed
No, the forum is safe from SSL exploits - it doesn't even use SSL.

SSL*
SSH is something else entirely :P
And yes, it is affected. Apache uses OpenSSL, which is where the vulnerability lies. You'll want to update it when a patched version is out.

And as far as I know, none of the website - even the login page - is actually secured in any meaningful way. I'll update everything, though, just because I should.

Re: Heartbleed
According to a random persons blog I saw earlier heart bleed works by dumping the servers recent memory to the hacker, so reasonably speaking changing your password would have higher chance of giving it to the hacker.

Re: Heartbleed
But how do you know it got updated? What if the service itself was hacked? What if the update is really a fake update that's a hack that steals your DNA so they can clone you an steal your identity.Ivan2006 wrote:Except if you're changing it on services that got the security update that fixes Heartbleed.Shadowcat wrote:According to a random persons blog I saw earlier heart bleed works by dumping the servers recent memory to the hacker, so reasonably speaking changing your password would have higher chance of giving it to the hacker.

Don't tell anybody, but to this day I have a faint hope for Futurecraft, or something similar to it, to happen. Within my lifetime.
