Ever since the heartbleed bug went into trending over the internet and that word went viral which was quite unbelievable especially how many news and websites announced about heartbleed and recommending each one of you to install heartbleed bug into your websites. Ever since the news and other websites comes out discussing about heartbleed I wasn’t so sure of it and my instincts had told me that it’s not safe because I had a feeling that it were made by governments (NSA) that would gather information from people through the internet because for several days I have read news about how NSA begin to hack or gather all kinds of information they can get from you all and it turns out that my instinct were right which that surprised me because I almost thought it was a safe but glad that I went with my instinct. Now about the bug so-called heartbleed that spread over on the internet and went viral on several popular websites among other news isn’t safe as it said it is if you install it and almost every website you visit recommending you to install it and the ones of you who didn’t install it then you are very lucky and I am glad for that.
The heartbleed bug on several websites recommended you to download the bug and install it on your website to guard all of your users and information you have from any hackers and spies which is quite untrue and opposite because they was recommending you to install the heartbleed bug to GATHER any information they can get their hands on from any one of you who have installed the heartbleed bug and if you do have installed it then I am suggesting you that you remove it as soon as possible and start hoping that they don’t get entire information off you and your users otherwise it would scare your users on your website off and possibly not to return out of the fear that their information may be gathered. When the bug came out on several websites and news I wasn’t so sure about it and wouldn’t install it because in my mind it was telling me that it’s not safe and my mind was right even though there’s no users on here to gather any of your information thankfully but can gather my information only if I had install that bug myself and only the most they can gather information from any one of you who read this website is the ip addresses but you don’t have to worry about that at least from visiting here because I refused to fall into the trap.
Ever since the heartbleed bug went viral and everywhere on the internet the interviewers and other people was questioning the bug especially wondering what it exactly do and where it originally came from so they begin questioning NSA however NSA denies reports to anyone who questioned them but in other words NSA knew about the bug some years ago before it even came out in several news and websites and they wanted to be silent and hoped that it would go viral worldwide on the internet so that it wouldn’t trace back to NSA for getting the information out of anyone. I was reading this article about NSA and heartbleed bug especially where it is said that NSA denies the report is what corrected my instincts and you can read about it here: NSA denies report it used heartbleed bug to capture information by MercuryNews.com.
Ever since the heartbleed bug went viral and is starting to get known about NSA using the bug to capture information from any one of you who install it now is probably looking into make a new bug with a different name in hope that it would encourage anyone to install so to be protected from heartbleed bug or familiar and if you do see a such thing like that – don’t fall in the trap by not installing it.
How do we secure our information from being gathered? There is a way but only thing it would do is to make our information a bit harder to capture especially from beginner hackers but like NSA? Probably not sadly, considering that NSA has all kinds of tools that can capture information from anyone from anywhere and only thing that can stop them from doing so is to encourage the white house to have a law where any governments is not allowed to capture any information by spying in our computers or our websites but other than that we’re out of luck but again if you don’t have anything that needs to be hidden then any of you shouldn’t be worried however I would encourage you to never save any credit card numbers or such important information on computer because they can be captured, writing on papers and putting them in folder is the best safe there can ever get.
So anything that you don’t want to be captured online with information should be only written on the papers and have them in the folder and put them up however there is another safe way but it’s not safer than writing on papers though would be saving information or anything directly to your flash drive but as soon as you are finished saving any information or anything be sure to unplug the flash drive and only open them is if you need it and hope that at same time that you aren’t opening anything from flash drive while they are scanning your computer for valuable information to capture but saving things to your flash drive and then unplug and only open them again is if you need to look at the information again by plugging the flash drive back into your computer or laptop and when you done looking at them then be sure to save and unplug. Writing information on the paper is the number 1 safest and the flash drive is 2nd safe or to be safer is to have your computer or laptop offline when opening the information that doesn’t need the internet to be looked at.
