Heartbleed

[mythtrav16]

Can anybody who is tech-savvy about Literotica and its workings say whether or not Literotica is one of the many sites affected by this "Heartbleed" bug, that has apparently rendered a large portion of the internet's privacy safeguards useless?

Lit doesn't use OpenSSL as far as I'm aware.

If you're really concerned pm Laurel and ask her nicely.
But be aware if she's sleeping her cat may answer your message.

Do I need protection before I click that link?

Just a transfusion.

Internet privacy. That's a good one.

Sorta like "Jumbo Shrimp" and "Justice Scalia", right?

Most sites that are vulnerable will show a lock icon before the domain name in the address bar, but be aware that no one knows that any theft has been taking place - the "news" is simply of a gigantic vulnerability in OpenSSL code. There's really not much you can do about it...

...unless you choose to completely stop sharing any private info online.

Some conscientious companies are already using Perfect Forward Security (PFS); it uses a different "per-session" encryption key for each data transfer, and even if a site's private SSL key is compromised, past communications are protected from retroactive decryption.

But hackers will eventually find a hole in it, too...

...again: if you're truly concerned with your information being comprised in any way online, don't provide the Web with any personal information you can't afford to have exposed.

Not all that savvy eek: ) but...uh... http://filippo***/Heartbleed/#forum.literotica.com
It doesn't mean it's vulnerable, but that it could be. I guess Laurel would know.

ETA: You should delete your credit card details from the subscription page. I have.
