    Default Heartbleed Bug

    Various companies urging you change every password you have as a major security flaw has been discovered. Apparently the flaw existed for over two years and sites such as Tumblr. has advised to change your passwords as your (user)name/email, password and other data might be compromised. However, on the other side other's have said there's no rush to do so.

    I've seen nothing to imply there's been any exploits through this.

    I wasn't too sure about it, it's a little odd that the bug has been around for a couple of years without notice at the moment. That's probably why others say there's no need to rush.

    Most companies have managed to patch their online services, for example Habbo patched their server, in good time.

    Mojang/Minecraft asked people to change as well if they logged within the pass 24 hours.

    Most of the big companies seem to be unaffected other than Yahoo! Google says there is no need to but you can if you're unsure, ebay says no you don't, PayPal is indifferent, Amazon is fine other than if you own a server with them (by the looks of things) and all the US banks are fine. I can't find any info on UK banks.
