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 ;) :lol:)
 
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.
 
Got a reply. The Heart Bleed exploit uses OpenSSL which BnB doesn't use for encryption :)
 
All that tech lingo has gone straight over my head lol dont even know whats happened with mumsnet?!
 
same here smiley, I have no idea whats going on. My TV has Peppa, Santa Paws or Ben & Holly on
 
I have no idea what any of that means, but I'm glad BnB is ok!

Phew, thank you! :)

:lol: Luckily my TV hasn't experienced cartoons yet, and hopefully it wont for a while!
