re: #25 calochortus

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?

Now we know that in some places, things were less secure than thought - and this in one of the primary ways people checked identity.

On the other hand, the Internet is always out to get you.
