    Hi, I was just wondering if boards is/was vulnerable to heartbleed and if we need to change our passwords?
    Thanks!

    Good question regarding Heartbleed. If boards is OpenSSL as many servers are today, are we vulnerable? Should we change our boards passwords?

    Hey guys,

    Your concerns are perfectly understandable. Boards wasn't affected by the vulnerability as we were (and still are) running versions of openSSL that aren't vulnerable. Password changes are not necessary.

    Thanks,
    Alvis.

    Thanks for the info. Perhaps you should let people know more widely? When I checked all my subscribed sites on LastPass, for boards.ie it says to wait for a public announcement from the site before changing a password.
