Heartbleed: There’s Always a Fee Behind Free
We all enjoy the luxury of checking off our to-do lists from the comforts of home. Why make a stop by the bank when you can just log in and make that transfer from your laptop? Who wants to go by the mall when you can find the exact size and color of that new jacket you want with just a little browsing on your iPad? One click and it’s on its way to your doorstep. All you have to do is make sure that little padlock is showing and you know you can securely share your personal information, right?
Until recently, I felt that sense of security, too. I’ve taken (more than) reasonable steps to secure my information, so I pretty much order online whenever I want without giving it a second thought.
Until recently… and then came “Heartbleed”.
