Heartbleed Bug --> Password Changes

If you haven't heard about the Heartbleed bug, I would suggest that you take some time to read about it.

In short, it is a bug that makes your private information ---> public.

To protect yourself as much as possible, you should consider changing a few of your passwords. Mashable.com has put together a very comprehensive list of accounts that may or may not be affected by the bug.

Here's a summary of suggested accounts for password changes:

Social Networks

• Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Tumblr

Email Accounts

• Google and Yahoo + Gmail and Ymail

Stores and Commerce

• Amazon, Etsy, and GoDaddy

Videos, Photos, Games & Entertainment

• Flickr, MineCraft, Netflix, SoundCloud, and YouTube

Financial Accounts

• USAA

Other

• Box, Dropbox, GitHub, IFTTT, OKCupid, Wikipedia, Wunderlist

Jewel's Random TidBits - If any of these accounts are linked to an email account you do not check often, you may want to log-in now. Many of these websites/companies sent out informational emails on how the Heartbleed bug may affect your account.
