Many of you have probably been seeing the stories pop up all over the web about the new Heartbleed virus. This bug can capture your data such as usernames and passwords due to sites that use OpenSSL certificates. According to CNET “Do not log into accounts from afflicted sites until you’re sure the company has patched the problem. If the company hasn’t been forthcoming — confirming a fix or keeping you up to date with progress — reach out to its customer service teams for information, said John Miller, security research manager for TrustWave, a security and compliance firm.” Well we’re happy to say that this Thrifty Nickel blog and our main website are free from concern. One of the smart techie guys who does all our boring computer stuff behind the scenes was preparing to defend against this bug well before it ever hit the mainstream news outlets. Surf safely my friends and know that with Thrifty Nickel you’re protected!
