A new bug has been discovered called the Heartbleed bug, which affects the popular encryption library, OpenSSL. This is used in a number of web services, including big ones such as Facebook, Google, Tumblr, and others, to encrypt things such as passwords and credit card information. It is possible that your information has been compromised, so it is recommended that you change your passwords ASAP.
