Are you changing passwords because of heartbleed?

[pscot]

Gizmo says we should be.

It's a pain but we are all going to have to bite the bullet and change passwords at sites that may have been affected by the Heartbleed securty exploit. Some helpful people have been compiling lists of sites where a password change is indicated. For example, a list of some major sites showing those which need a changed password is at Mashable.

1. nope. The only site that affected me was yahoo.

And my yahoo email account is my throwaway box to start with.

2. Google, gmail and facebook are also on that list

and that's fairly huge.

4. I have a gmail account because you need one for youtube.

Never used it and never check it. FB is like none of the stuff in my profile is accurate so who cares.

5. That's basically where I'm at

Thankfully Amazon doesn't seem to have been infected.

6. Yup...every one I use that was on the list was changed immediately (after they'd been patched).

Took a few minutes, including saving in a password app. Why wouldn't one one to do so?

That is a very incomplete list, btw... Suggest looking at the cnet list and some of the others.
