Heartbleed Bug
The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs).
The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.

I've heard this for a few day's now and I think this bug is quite stupid. How can it exist ?
How many accounts have been stolen already?
Do you use OpenSLL ? Then check it below and be safe!

Test it here:
OpenSSL self:
You have been warned!
If you got any accounts on websites that uses openSSL, you might want to change your password.
Some funny explanation
