[QUOTE="cptkrf, post: 1577008, member: 134861"] Sorry about that. Should have used both words in the title. Heartbeat is the the name of the condition at risk. Heartbleed is the name given to the problem. FYI If you run the command… openssl version you should get the prompt, OpenSSL 0.9.8y, which is unaffected. You can google up the complicated reason why it isn’t. However there is a caveat. It is possible that some program that was installed since the last OSX update might have replaced the default version with updated buggy code. The above command is how to make sure it hasn’t been replaced. [/QUOTE]
