OZnzb - URGENT SECURITY UPDATE

After consultation with some external security experts we have taken the
following steps to protect our users privacy and security.

1. Affective today we have reset ALL users API / RSS security keys, if you
are using our RSS services or Automation with an API key you will need to
update your programs with the new keys. API keys are located in your
profile »www.oznzb.com/profile

2. All users are urged to change your passwords ASAP, to change your
password go to you profile »www.oznzb.com/profile click on the
orange edit button and type in new password, repeat the password in the
confirm password field and then scroll to the bottom and click save
profile.

If you have accounts on other indexers then we would strongly recommend
that you also reset these credentials on those sites.

Our experts have confirmed that any website that was vulnerable to the
Heartbleed SSL bug (which most indexers were and 60% of the worlds
websites), then IF anyone had exploited this bug they could have access to
your accounts.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you, however we believe
this is a necessary step in protecting our users.

If you would like more information please check in our forums on this
security announcement.

The team at OZnzb would like to thank all of our members for being such
LEGENDS and helping to make our community the great place that it is!

Oh man and then they say that you are secure if you use SSL encryption To all: check your credit card statements, some of users tell that they discovered some charges from services they never ordered. Can that be a Heartbleed flaw? Can it be that all credit card details were stolen?

I just use a prepaid credit card to subscribe to my newsnab sites. So if I get burned its only for a few dollars.

I use Paypal or bitcoins, never give my cc to one of these sites.

A one-time "virtual" cc number with a fixed dollar limit is how I do it. Several cc companies offer this service at no charge. Nobody can rip off your real cc number because it remains unknown to the merchant.
