[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1122842, member: 18945"] If you make purchases on line, do online banking or do anything else that might have included your personal information, read and heed. It's been around a while, so your info may already have been exposed. Most websites have already patched their securit protocols, but because it's been around so long without detection, the exploit is still dangerous. The problem is in the encryption process/protocol itself--that little lock you see near the address bar on your browser when doing on-line transactions doesn't necessarily mean it is/was a secure transaction.
