There it states:
'WARNING! READ: "The biggest network security vulnerability in history was revealed in the last 24 hours. It's called "heartbleed." Everything you do for the next 24-48 hours will be viewable by random 3rd parties. Encrypted connections are not secure until this vulnerability is fixed. Billions will be affected. DO NOT LOG in to anything. DO NOT change any passwords. DO NOT say or do anything online that you would not want anonymous 3rd parties observing or copying. (This came from a reliable source in my family; he said it was okay to write on fb... or to read email from known sources as long as you observe the above "do nots.") Don't buy anything online today! Don't log into your bank account, etc. '
