<p>Hopefully you’ve heard about the Heartbleed bug. It’s a problem
that affected about 2/3rds of the internet’s secure servers and made
them not-secure. This is Very Bad, since it could have allowed attackers
to steal your password or other account-related information. This comic
explains the problem in very simple terms: <a
href="http://xkcd.com/1354/">http://xkcd.com/1354/</a></p>
<p>If you have an account with Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Slate, Flickr,
Dropbox, Netflix, Wordpress or Tumblr, <em>you definitely need to
change your passwords</em>. On the other hand, here are some sites that
reportedly <em>weren’t affected</em>: Amazon.com, Chase (and many other
banks), Twitter, Apple, Ebay, Paypal, Microsoft/Outlook. Check if a
specific site was affected by using the LastPass Heartbleed checker: <a
href="https://lastpass.com/heartbleed/">https://lastpass.com/heartbleed/</a>.</p>
<p>That list of unaffected websites isn’t much of a
confidence-builder, especially since different sites report different
lists. If you have an online account that stores information you want to
keep safe, this is a good time to change your password. If you have
used the same password for several websites, including any of the
affected websites, you should change all of those passwords. If you find
accounts you no longer use, now’s a good time to shut them down. It’s
time to clean house.</p>
<p>Yes, changing all these passwords will take a lot of time. Yes,
it’s really important that you change them, to protect your data. (Think
of all the emails you’ve ever sent. That’s important data.) You can
make the process a little less painful by setting up a password keeper
like <a href="https://lastpass.com/">LastPass</a> or <a
href="https://agilebits.com/onepassword">1Password</a> to securely store
your passwords and generate new, strong passwords for you. These aren’t
free, but for me, the security is worth the price. </p>
<p>Using them, I’ll still have to visit the 170+ websites where
1Password reports I have vulnerable accounts (Ouch). But the software
remembers my current password and can generate new, strong passwords
(and remember them) automatically. For more on creating your own strong
passwords, revisit my write-up from November: <a

<p>Your data isn’t trivial. Neither is the data you collect, either
directly or through your current computer services, about your patrons.
Take care of it and learn from it. Learn more ways you can at SWON’s
spring luncheon, “<em>Data Driven Innovation</em>.”** We’ll serve lunch
at noon and the interactive innovation talk is from 12:45 to 3:15. Then
stay for SWON’s brief Membership Meeting, where you’ll hear about SWON’s
