Re: OpenSSL vuln

In case the impact of this isn't clear, more than likely any web
site/service you use has been vulnerable and the nature of the exploit
dumps memory from the server that might be totally unrelated to the https
service that was exploited. In more direct terms, every password you have
anywhere on any service should be considered compromised.
