 That's what I was thinking.

I wonder how we will know when all the security patches have been put in place? Is it something that each individual site will have to do, or is it done by some other means? I am Confused.com!

Man i'm slow on the uptake today!! I've just popped off and changed all mine... coming up with them all was not easy!

I think I will wait ...I don't bank online or anything ....but I wonder if it affects IOS devices too ?

'No rush'

A researcher at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory said it would be an overreaction to say everyone should drop what they are doing to reset all their passwords, but that those concerned should still act.

OpenSSL test Security companies have developed tests that can reveal if a service remains vulnerable to the flaw

"I think there is a low to medium risk that any given password has been compromised," said Dr Steven Murdoch.

"It's not the same as previous breaches where there's been confirmed password lists posted to the internet. It's not as urgent as that.

"But changing your password is very easy. So it's not a bad idea but it's not something people have to rush out to do unless the service recommends you do so."

I've not yet read through it as there is quite a bit of info, so I don't know whether it's a 'phishing' type problem or something else. I have quite tough password (never real words, mix numbers and letters and punctuation). 

 

I'll hang fire and check some tech sites.

name date month 1980?

 

 

Eighty does refer to the year 1980, but the rest is not name date month.
