Questions from a certified Luddite:
Do I understand correctly that Heartbleed was discovered a couple days ago as a vulnerability, but no one knows whether anyone else discovered and exploited it?
For something that has apparently existed for 2 years, why all the sudden ‘don’t trust the internet’ stuff I’m hearing?
Are we less safe today than we were last month?
