Does anyone know if Cryptsy updated yet?
EDIT:
We have updated all of our OpenSSL servers and our DDOS provider has also updated.  More information here: http://blog.cryptsy.com


...or btc-e?
On April 6th
"We updated SSL certificate"
...That may have simply been expiring. Cannot tell what version of OpenSSL they are running.

I don't vouch for the accuracy of this test but it indicates no vulnerability

SSL can now be considered as dead, this bug leaks the private SSL key of all the websites that use SSL.
even if they patch the server anyone who dumped enough of the server's memory would likely be able to recover the SSL private key of the server.

Generating a new key and cert as well as revoking the old cert takes less than an hour (honestly more like ten minutes but was being conservative).  Of course many website were completely unaffected as they didn't use the compromised version of OpenSSL.  BitSimple (among many other Bitcoin related sites) for example is unaffected.

Re keying is easy if the site cares

As far as I can see, this bug affects bitcoind in the case that you use RPC over a network to access your wallet.

If you don't, I don't believe there's any vulnerability that this exposes.  (This is a quick examination only; there could be something I missed).  If you have, and someone who knew about this bug was paying attention at the time, then that person may have your password.  

OTOH, I think this explains the widespread SSL break implied by the Snowden papers.  

EDIT: 

I had not looked at the new payment protocol stuff with the recent client.  It is also exposed to this bug. So, if you have used the payment prototocol over the network, you have been exposed.

Next up is huge concern about the exchanges that have not updated.


Gavin Andresen: Expect Bitcoin Core 0.9.1 Release Soon Because of Heartbleed OpenSSL Bug

http://newsbtc.com/2014/04/08/gavin-andresen-expect-bitcoin-core-0-9-1-release-soon-heartbleed-openssl-bug/

EDIT:
    The vulnerability does not affect the bitcoin protocol or wallet. It may affect auxilary usage of TLS in RPC-over-SSL and when fetching payment requests over HTTPS.

    Not a big deal, but we are going to release a 0.9.1 that updates OpenSSL (see pull #4023 if you want to test) and fixes some other minor issues from 0.9.0.

Thanks for posting a serious story.

What should a website operator do about the Heartbleed OpenSSL exploit?

When will you know that https://"XYZ" has secured itself against this?

http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/#apicoin.io << my site is secured, I was one of the first since I saw this on a netsec newsletter last night.

OpenSSL has been revealed to have a huge gaping hole.

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-26935905

Those who have been securing communications using https (which is essentially all of us) should change all passwords they have used with those systems. 

Those who have used the same password in https that they have used to encrypt their wallets - yeah, you can figure that out, right?  An attacker may have the old password.  You should be using a different one.


This is quite bad. That'd mean I'd have to change almost all of my passwords… Geez, that will take some time!
At least my wallet is encrypted with a completely different password.
