Hi.
Thanks for the email.
Well. I have lots of passwords to change.
If I'll change them now, I will not have to change them again in a few days?
Meaning, is the problem HEARTBLEED behind us ?
Thanks

    PS:
    Maybe I didn't see the important fact here , I must say that I'm always near a computer and I didn't notice enough the HEARTBLEED issue .

    So a good word and many thanks to AgileBits for sending an e-mail that opened my eyes !!!

    My understanding, FWIW, is that it is recommended we change them twice - once now (before and during) the websites' attempt to fix the security problem, and then, again, after the fix. sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it?
    From what I've heard, I don't believe Heartbleed problem is behind us..... :(

    Mashable has published a list of major online services and their Heartbleed status. It can save you some time regarding changing important passwords.

    Once an affected website has updated their servers to the fixed version of OpenSSL and installed a reissued SSL certificate, then it is safe to change your password there.

    The link posted by @MrMojoOne is a good place to find out whether major websites have completed the steps above.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions. We're always here to help! :)
