Makes my head hurt…

…reading about the now-famous Heartbleed Bug (click on the link for a techie but not too techie discussion). There are all manner of non-technical discussions available, not all in agreement but all, pretty much, right. Nobody really knows. The general advice is to change all your passwords (I know, I know), but it is probably not a good idea to do this until you are made aware by your various servers that their software has been patched. 

And, before you do change your passwords it would be a good idea to review this advice from US-CERT.

ADD: Here’s a handy Heartbleed test page for checking servers you use.
