Well that is a pain

The datacenter tells us the version of OpenSSL we use is safe.

That's good news but for some reason I'm still having a hard time scheduling a bill pay.

In all seriousness though some people are recommending that people don't use the internets until each site has declared itself fixed and then...and only then...do we change our passcode/usernames.

What surprises me is that people seem surprised. The internet was always about exchange of information. Security shopping and banking are afterthoughts

I'm not. Given a large enough number of seams, some will inevitably tear.

I would have expect you would have let us know by now Gene if it were otherwise so I am not really worried.

Very odd, for the first time in about 2 weeks I logged on using tapatalk and I had access to about 3 other paracast accounts including geoshift The username dialog box popped up but no passcodes. The other two I didn't revognize perhaps because they don't post as much.

I wonder if this is in response to this heartbleed issue ?? (Not paracadt of course but tapatalks)

After opening and closing tapatalk I see that the geoshift account is in the cloud. Also this time his was the only one that came up. Screenshot posted
