Today is April 8th. For those who may not be up to date in the world of computers, today officially marks the end of Windows XP support. It's probably safe to assume that in the upcoming months, all forms of attacks on the operating system will increase exponentially. If you have XP for personal use, I recommend you either switch to Linux and use XP when not connected to the internet, or upgrade to Win 7. If you work at a place that still uses XP, may god have mercy on your soul.

The bug, which is officially referenced as CVE-2014-0160, makes it possible for attackers to recover up to 64 kilobytes of memory from the server or client computer running a vulnerable OpenSSL version.

While this may not largely affect most of you, if you're currently studying network or systems security (Halogen and litodude come to mind), you should be aware of this bug. The specifics have been leaked into the public as well, so you can find documentation and find out a way to combat it.
