| For those unaware, it's a real pain in the behind. It's an OpenSSL exploit that allows one to read the memory of server using a request to get a server's keys to reveal passwords. You can access up to 64kb at a time, but it can be repeated constantly to get all of the needed info. The current advice is to wait until the bug is fixed, then change your password. Considering Yahoo is/was using a vulnerable version of OpenSSL... Also, the NSA is rumored to have been using it to hack accounts, but they are denying they even about its existence. ____________________ |
