Christian Chat is vulnerable still too

[FONT=open_sansregular]Detected server software of [/FONT]Apache
That server is known to use OpenSSL and could have been vulnerable.

The SSL certificate for www.christianchat.com valid 1 year ago at Jan 6 18:53:50 2013 GMT.
This is before the heartbleed bug was published, it may need to be regenerated.

If you are a user of gmail, there is an option that let you put your 1st password (a) and, after few senconds, your phone receives a code (b) you can use to double "protect" your email account.

Backup the data you think it important!

"However, many sites likely haven't upgraded to software without the bug, so immediately changing them (passwords) still might not help."

Now that's assuring.
