Just a quick question.

Heartbleed. Do I need to be telling my members to change their passwords or are we all safe and cozy?

Heartbleed effects SSL connections, so your members have nothing to worry about . . . unless you access your site through a https connection powered by OpenSSL.

The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs).

The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.

Your members do not need to change their passwords. Our servers have never used the vulnerable version of OpenSSL.
