Venom Security Vulnerability

There is a new security vulnerability in the wild: Venom. For those of you that remember Heartbleed, this one is even more frightening:

“Heartbleed lets an adversary look through the window of a house and gather information based on what they see,” said Geffner, using an analogy. “Venom allows a person to break in to a house, but also every other house in the neighborhood as well.”

A full description of the vulnerability can be found on ZDNet.

I have verified that 10T Web Design’s server has already been patched and is no longer vulnerable to Venom, however, this is a wide-spread issue. If you are concerned that your server is vulnerable, just contact me with the name of your hosting company, and I’ll be happy to find out for you at no cost, even if you are not currently a client.
