This Heartbleed stuff is no joke. The latest security flaw currently to startle the internet's collective horses can compromise information and other previously considered safe data that's transmitted over OpenSSL protocols. Affected sites and service providers have been scrambling to fix the flaw, but maybe you're still concerned about your nightly Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls . If so, don't worry: Blizzard says you're in safe hands when you to Battle.net.
"We want to emphasize that Battle.net's encryption was not affected by this vulnerability," the company states in a security notice from its section. "However, if you use the same on Battle.net that you use elsewhere, your Battle.net could be at risk if those sites were affected by this bug."
The company recommends changing your Battle.net to something new and unique. Are you thinking of using your birthday or your mother's maiden name? Stop that. The name of your favorite cat, spelled backwards? Not much better. Regardless, switching your s for your Blizzard gaming and your other s isn't a bad idea – once you know they've addressed the vulnerability.
