Mrs W~O wants to order something on-line tonight..Is there an easy way to check whether the site she wants to order from could be affected ??BillyGoat wrote:No, but yes.thescruff wrote:So in theory the newsletter from Malwarebytes could be at risk or fake.
It COULD be fake IF someone had used the bug to hack the server, steal the details and get their password database. Crack it, log into their blog and THEN write the fake article
It's just a normal blog and not on a secure page (at least the blog - so that part isn't affected). They might have a login to the blog that's https that's got a bad cert, so that would then be vulnerable to the attack.

Arguing with a woman is like reading a Software Licence Agreement.
In the end, you ignore everything and click "I agree".
