Le password insicure a causa di Heartbleed: ecco quali cambiare!

Abbiamo avuto già modo di parlare più volte di Heartbleed, il grave bug di OpenSSL scoperto di recente, ma attivo già da un paio di anni, che affligge in parte anche il robottino, in particolare nella versione Android 4.1.1. Purtroppo l'elenco dei siti potenzialmente vulnerabili è molto lungo, e diversi di questi hanno anche una corrispettiva app per Android, pertanto vi raccomandiamo di prendere la cosa molto seriamente, e di cambiare le vostre password in almeno tutti i siti / servizi che andremo a consigliarvi.

Per fortuna le aziende principali hanno già aggiornato i propri server in modo da prevenire ulteriori fughe di informazioni, ma non c'è garanzia che i propri dati non siano già stati trafugati in passato, e per questo è consigliato il cambio di password. Va comunque detto che non ci sono indicazioni che il bug fosse noto prima della scorsa settimana, ma in ogni caso la prudenza non è mai troppa.

LEGGI ANCHECome rilevare se il vostro Android è a rischio Heartbleed

Elenchiamo quindi i servizi principali che siamo convinti molti di voi utilizzeranno anche su Android, suddivisi per categoria, enfatizzando con il neretto quelli per i quali è consigliato il cambio password, con a fianco il commento in lingua originale da parte delle varie aziende in merito. Ripetiamo nuovamente: niente panico, ma meglio spendere un po' di tempo a cambiare le proprie password, che ritrovarsi un domani con sorprese sgradite.

Commento dell’azienda.

Facebook Non chiaro Si Si "We added protections for Facebook’s implementation of OpenSSL before this issue was publicly disclosed. We haven’t detected any signs of suspicious account activity, but we encourage people to ... set up a unique password."

But because this event impacted many services across the web, we recommend you update your password on Instagram and other sites, particularly if you use the same password on multiple sites.”

1Password No No No 1Password said in a blog post that its technology "is not built upon SSL/TLS in general, and not upon OpenSSL in particular." So users don't need to change their master password.
Dashlane Si Si No Dashlane said in a blog post users' accounts were not impacted and the master password is safe as it is never transmitted. The site does use OpenSSL when syncing data with its servers but Dashlane said it has patched the bug, issued new SSL certificates and revoked previous ones.
LastPass Si Si No "Though LastPass employs OpenSSL, we have multiple layers of encryption to protect our users and never have access to those encryption keys." Users don't need to change their master passwords because they're never sent to the server. But passwords for other sites stored in LastPass might need to be changed.
