Heartbleed security hole …What you should do
Heartbleed Security Hole: Eyes Everywhere I.T. Consultants Takes Action for Toronto and GTA Clients and Beyond
The Heartbleed security hole that is affecting many websites is not as prevalent as originally thought (“only” 17% as opposed to over 60%), however, this is still a significant problem. Eyes Everywhere I.T. Consultants has patched any websites listed that affect our clients in the Toronto and GTA area, but the problem is global.
Time to Act: Change Passwords for Heartbleed-Affected Websites
Most big websites have patched their systems already, so now it’s time to change your passwords. Please have a look at the websites that Mashable has put together here. If you are in the affected list, and have received a patch, please change your password on that site. If not, wait. There are many more websites that are affected, and not all will probably inform their users, so please contact them to make sure. http://mashable.com/2014/04/09/heartbleed-bug-websites-affected/
