The Internet is still in a panic a full day after security researchers went public with the Heart Bleed Bug, a flaw in OpenSSL that enables hackers to steal logins, passwords and even credit card information…
The massive vulnerability in the open-source software package broadly used to encrypt Web communications means information normally protected by SSL/TLS encryption is useless leaving Web applications, e-mail communications, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs) vulnerable.
Essentially, that means a lot of Internet users are affected, the team of security engineers atCodenomicon and Neel Mehta of Google Security, who jointly discovered the bug, said.
