There has been a big problem with the internet lately – the “Heartbleed” bug.
You can also check it out on on BBC and from the US government;

What is this computer bug about?
Basically this bug gives hackers a way past the security on roughly two thirds of the websites out there. (Don’t worry; our site was not affected.)
Hackers can grab usernames, passwords, credit card information, encryption keys and other sensitive information they shouldn’t have.
The worst part is that this bug existed for two years before any security company or researcher noticed.
It sounds bad, and it is bad. But it isn’t the end of the world, or even the Internet. Read on to take a look at what exactly is going on and how you can stay safe.
