mumsnet hacked..

[amytrisha]

Its on BBC news that mumsnet has been hacked in the heart bleed bug stuff.. :O BnB wont get hacked will it?!

(Sorry if this doesnt belong here! Other baby sites are available )

The servers BnB are on were patched as soon the exploit was known about. I'm waiting on an official word but BnB doesn't use SSL to encrypt logins (which is what the exploit uses) so would say it isn't an issue.

Thanks wobbles for the reassurance.

Got a reply. The Heart Bleed exploit uses OpenSSL which BnB doesn't use for encryption
