Heartbleed Bug Help

The Heartbleed Bug affects businesses, groups, you and me. The Internet Bug exposes credit card information, passwords and gives cyber-criminals access to stealing your life.

Heartbleed is an error, vulnerability, in the OpenSSL that most web sites use to keep user data safe. In other words, the encryption technology has been compromised.

It's suggested by Experts to change passwords of any web site you frequent that has "sensitive" information.

Consider the following before picking a password.

1. A password should never be easily guessed by a friend or relative.

2. Think of a place to secure passwords from roaming eyes.

4. Make passwords nine letters, numbers or symbols long, at least.

5. The word smilingme can be made into a safer password.

6. Stir-in capital as well as lower cased letters: S m I l N G m E.

7. Sprinkle in a number: S m I l N G m E 4.

8. Throw in a symbol: S m I l N G @ m E 4.

The new password is S m I l N G @ m E 4.

Continue to create passwords like the one above for web sites you visit.
