    I left it unlocked in case anyone has serious questions about the bug, since it is pretty major. Don't go offtopic.

    I highly doubt any TPT passwords got stolen, but feel free to change your password if you are worried. The main powdertoy.co.uk website wasn't vulnerable, no idea about anything else, probably not that either based on what Simon said.

    It might be a good idea to change passwords elsewhere though, such as minecraft passwords, or email passwords. You never know, because after the bug got attention i'm sure many people tried abusing it.

    if the client does not authenticate using TLS with the OpenSSL libaray, it should be fine. if the server has an up-to-date version of OpenSSL the only problem that might arise is if it had been significantly comprimised at some time prior to the patch(which is not possible to detect,unfortunately). if no part uses OpenSSL at all, the issue doesn't affect Powdertoy.

     Yay, someone actually reads xkcd.


    Also, didn't he already do a comic about Heartbleed on Wednesday?


    EDIT: Yup, http://xkcd.com/1353/


    Our imaginations are safe!
