Heartbleed - Sites affected

Here is a compilation of sites that were/were not affected by Heartbleed and whether you should change your password.

And you can test the status of a server here: Heartbleed Test

If you are not already aware of Heartbleed, it is a vulnerability in OpenSSL that was recently publicized. Unfortunately it has existed for quite a long time so the real impact is unclear.

OpenSSL is a protocol some websites have used to provide secure access.  When you see "https:" and the little lock sign saying you're secure, apparently sometimes this hasn't been the case. This isn't a virus that spreads (not an exploit that gets downloaded to your PC).  It was a bug in the code the servers deployed that allowed someone unauthorized to view the supposed secure data coming into the server.

Once you know a website has been patched you should change your password in case any one had access to your login data.  And it would be good to change any other passwords if you share them across sites (and stop that!).

Free Stuff! - Dead Space

Ok, ok I know it's Origin, but if you are stuck with it for another game anyway, might as well get free stuff!

Don't forget to check for the "On the House" games periodically.  Once you pick them up they are yours, these are not trial games, but they do tend to be older ones.
