Found Massive Vunerability in Open-SSL.

Hey guys,

Just a heads up that a critical issues was found with Open-SSL, this form of encryption is used by a large number of sites and can affect any OS. Link to a number of the affected web-sites can be found here I recommend everyone update their passwords to any frequently used web-sites edit:but only after they have been confirmed as patched.

Gametabs.net does not use any form of SSL as far as I am aware so you should be fine here, but wait for a mod or Ash to comment on that before you take my word for it.

Cheers,

BHC

As someone who works in webdeveloping . .

This was a huge pain in the ass . . Patching up lots of servers and changing certificates and lots of talking on the phone >_<.

And yes its important to change password but it only makes sense to change it if the website has patched this issue ~

A fine point indeed! my co-worker was rushing me while I was writing this so didn't get a chance to re-read it. Hah

Lots of the Gametabs community seems to very tech savvy... I myself am a IT-Consultant specializing in Data-center support. I would probably go insane from all the calls I would get if I did web-development. You have my condolences sir!

And I think that's a common problem because many companies don't even care about the developers they hire, and that's why their cyber security is trash.
