    Just a question. Should I change my password?

    Since this bug was known for several years already, nobody knows who stole data from anyone. This is why they tell you to change all your passwords.

    IMHO, it doesn't matter as nobody would try to make the effort to hack your beamng.com account.

    That's reassuring... [/sarcasm]
    So have you updated the ssl or moved to a different version? I know you are pretty busy but it would be nice if you took a more solid stance on keeping any data we have here secure.

    I don't think they use ssl at all.

    Yes, you sir are correct. Have an internet cookie, a nice one, not a tracking based one :p.

    Used this site to check for reference: www.ssllabs.com
    and this one: http://tif.mcafee.com/heartbleedtes

    But im still not sure that the "nobody would try to make the effort to hack your beamng.com account" security strategy is the best one to take.

    We do not use https, but we used openssh for communcation which was updated to the secure version some hours after the problem got public. We did not find any suspicious activity.
