FYI | Heard of Heartbleed Bug?

As a user of IFTTT, I receive their email newsletters. Today I was notified that due to The Heartbleed Bug, "A major vulnerability in the technology that powers encryption across much of the internet was discovered this week".

Advice from IFTTT was to change not only my password on their site but ALL of my passwords. This will take some doing, but I've got a project for tonight! (see Update Below)

Find out more about The Heartbleed Bug on this site created by the Google Security and Codenomicon that included FAQ about the bug.


UPDATE: Looks like I may have jumped the gun - Other sites warn that changing passwords may make you more vulnerable. Read the full article here.
