If you don't have $350 to drop, this Dorkfood termperature controller can turn any slow cooker into a sous vide bath. I own it, and love it.

This Checklist Reveals the Heartbleed-Affected Passwords to Change Now 2014

This Checklist Reveals the Heartbleed-Affected Passwords to Change Now 2014

By now you've got most likely heard concerning the large Heartbleed safety bug that may have compromised nearly all of the world's web sites. Everybody should change their passwords on the affected sites-however only after these websites have patched the issue.

Mashable is maintaining and updating a list of the most popular sites you should change your passwords for ASAP.

LastPass users have a built-in Heartbleed checker for their accounts, but that doesn't help those of us who don't use LastPass or even new LastPass users. (I imported over 800 accounts into LastPass yesterday and this morning and was told I didn't need to take any action, probably because the tool saw all my passwords as new.)

Mashable reached out to the major email, social, finance, and other sites on the web to create this chart showing which sites have been affected, if they've patched it, and if the sites recommend you change your password now.

So you can see at a glance that you should change your Facebook password, but not necessarily your Microsoft one. Google, interestingly, says they patched its services and you don't "need" to change your password, but you probably should (better safe than sorry).

You'll probably want to keep monitoring the Mashable list for those companies (like Apple) who haven't responded yet, and your email inbox for notices from companies that aren't on the list.

Happy change your passwords week.

Update: This list unfortunately doesn't specify if the companies have revoked and reissued their security certificates, which is important for the utmost precaution for them to do before you change your passwords. Most of the companies' statements say they've patched the issue or applied the appropriate fixes, but the certificate status is unclear. So even if the sites are saying everything's fixed, it's better to wait until you know for sure if the certificates have been updated. If you're a LastPass user, they have that data or you can check sites individually at https://lastpass.com/heartbleed/(and it looks like LastPass is starting to roll out info for new users, but it's very incomplete as of this writing). For further reading, see Troy Hunt's post or this one from 1Password.

LastPass Now Tells You Which Heartbleed-Affected Passwords to Change

This week, a giant security hole came to light that affects a large portion of the internet. As different sites recover, you'll need to change your passwords, and now LastPass tells you when to do so.

Due to the nature of the Heartbleed bug (read more here), you'll need to wait until affected sites update their infrastructure before you change your passwords. LastPass' ever-useful Security Check tool now includes recommendations for Heartbleed, letting you know which sites have closed the hole, when, and if you should update yet.

To run the tool, just click on the LastPass extension and head to Tools > Security Check. After running the tool, you'll get the results (shown above) so you know what passwords to change. Hit the link to read more.
