Heartbleed is not a virus, it is an exploit of open source RSS encryption. It allowed coders to view all passwords and security certificates as they were entered. * +

Nothing dangerous unless you are that t*t who use the same password for every account you ever own. * +

using the same password maybe foolish but trying to remember so many different passwords, and what sites those passwords belong to is a nightmare in itself. The obvious solution is to write them down in a book but most people dont do that, and those that do will end up loosing the book. and you cant store them on any device that goes online for obvious reasons so its a no win situation. * +

you have to sign up for so many things these days and you cant use what password combination you want because it may say its not secure. You should be able to use what password you want, its your security so therefore its your own responsibity not the providers. Its just one big nightmare in my opinion. * +

at the end of the day, if someone wants to hack in they will still succeed no matter what password you use anyway * +

I take reasonable security precautions but there is a lot of passwords you have to remember if you have lots of accounts like I do. The main thing is to at least isolate your most important accounts with different and strong passwords. I also never leave payment details on sites if I can, no matter how secure they might seem. Want us to save these payment details for next time?

Nope! * +
