Update: 4/10/14 10:52 am EST: Here’s another list of 512 sites that are labeled as “Vulnerable,” according to a Github user. They were scanned at 4/9/14 14:00 UTC, and are reportedly among the 10,000 most popular sites on the Internet, according to Alexa, an Internet analytics firm. You can download the full list here, though you’ll need a program like WinRAR to open it, which you can grab here (don’t worry, the program is free to use). Among the notable sites on this list are Toshiba.com, dailycaller.com, and escapist magazine.com. This list also includes websites with Russian, Indian, Australian, and other non-U.S. domains.

Update: 4/10/14 3:01 pm EST: These websites and services were either once vulnerable, or suspected to be susceptible to the Heartbleed bug, but have reportedly been patched since and are now safe to use. We still advise that you exercise caution though.

Original story

The Heartbleed bug is sending shockwaves throughout the Internet right now, and potentially leaves unimaginable amounts of private data exposed to hackers who take advantage of the flaw in the OpenSSL encryption software used by some of the world’s most popular websites. Considering that the flaw can expose a range of sensitive data, including usernames, passwords, emails, instant messages, credit card numbers, and more, it’s imperative that you do what you can to minimize the damage.

But are there any actions that you can proactively take to ensure that the bug doesn’t hit you? Since this is a problem with the very encryption software that’s supposed to protect your data on the Web, inaction appears to be the best course of action. Simply by avoiding sites that have reportedly been affected, you’ll stay safer. We also recommend you change your passwords, which Yahoo advised as a course of action via Tumblr. So which sites should you quarrantine?

According to a list compiled by a user of Github (a website geared towards the Web development community), popular affected sites include Yahoo.com, dating site OkCupid.com, torrent site kickass.to, and porn site Redtube.com. Flickr.com, steamcommunity.com, and slate.com are also identified on the list as sites affected by the Heartbleed Bug. You can check out the full list here, which also includes a list of sites that aren’t affected by the flaw.

Amazon and Yahoo are working to apply the fix across all of their services. Yahoo said it’s already done that with a multitude of sites, including the homepage, Yahoo Search, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Sports, and more. Amazon states that it too has applied the fix to the majority of services. You can read Amazon’s statement on the matter here.

It’s worth noting, however, that the initial reports surrounding last year’s Adobe breaches indicated that the size and scope of the attacks were much smaller than they turned out to be in the end.

The Github post that includes this list of Heartbleed-affected sites states that the scans were conducted “around” April 8, 12:00:00 UTC. Therefore, that list could also include sites that have since plugged the OpenSSL vulnerability.

Be sure to read our guide to What the Heartbleed OpenSSL Bug Is and How to Protect Your Android from Heartbleed Guide. We also have a robust list of Android, iOS, and Windows Apps Affected by Heartbleed and Video Game Services Affected by Heartbleed.

If you’re keen to learn more, keep reading and we’ll take you through everything. We’re not certain how long the deal will stick around for, so assume it’s going to end sooner rather than later if you don’t want to risk missing out.

Why you should buy the CLX Horus Gaming PC

Intel Arrow Lake gets possible pricing and release date
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger presents Intel's roadmap including Arrow Lake, Lunar Lake, and Panther Lake.

We haven't even gotten an official release date for Intel Arrow Lake, but the one we know of is already being pushed back. Many leaks pointed to an October 10 release, but now, one source claims that Intel won't launch its next-gen top desktop processors until October 24. This only applies to the K and KF-series CPUs -- the non-K variants won't arrive until much later. We've also gotten a peek at some of the possible pricing.

Fortunately, the delay doesn't appear to be major. According to HKEPC on X (formerly Twitter), the launch of Intel Arrow Lake-S has now been pushed back from October 17 to October 24. This is somewhat inconsistent with previous leaks, but not really -- it appears that Intel had always planned to announce Arrow Lake on October 10, with availability starting on October 17. Now, we might still hear about the CPUs on October 10, but they won't appear on the shelves until two weeks later.

Credit card info for 1.7 million users leaked in huge breach
A credit card is passed from one person to another.

Florida-based payment gateway provider Slim CD has confirmed in a notification sent to affected clients (almost 1.7 million) that their full names, credit card info, physical address, and payment card expiration date have been breached, according to a letter from the company, It's a trend that's unfortunately becoming fairly common.

What's more shocking about the number of affected users is how long it took the company to notice the breach since the hackers had access from August 2023 to June 2024. The company first noticed suspicious activity on June 15, stating, "That access may have enabled an unauthorized actor to view or obtain certain credit card information between June 14, 2024, and June 15, 2024,”
