Cyber-criminals will pluck-up your information and the Web site's data you visited.
Heartbleed is an error, flaw, in OpenSSL that two thirds of Web servers use. You know the Web servers. A lock icon sits in the browser to assure visitors information they're departing with isn't being seen by people who have bad intentions.
The problem was uncovered last week and shared Monday.
Address the issue as soon as possible if you've visited a compromised web site. You may have to change passwords or contact your bank in person. It isn't wise to do it through e-mails or online.
Google, Facebook, Amazon and Yahoo have announced they've taken measures to secure their web sites.
Compromised web sites must close-out SSL certificates, get new ones and upgrade to the path version.
