Hey everyone...Shadow here again with some helpful stuff for my hunter brothers and sisters.


Heartbleed is a virus affecting a lot of networks and has comprised many different regions of the net. To be super safe, I would change your passwords on your various sites you use like Facebook or Hotmail etc.


Blizzard has confirmed that this virus does NOT effect their systems at this time, however you may want to change it just to be on the safe side.


Much love,

Shadow

It's a flaw, not a virus, but yeah, change your passwords now.

Here's a link to the sites you should prioritize for changing passwords on:

It's not an exhaustive list, but prioritizing is key.


Virus = self replicating program. Could be benign, could be very bad.

Flaw = the hole in the dyke that could let a flood of viruses in unless plugged.
