netsetman.com NOT affected by "SSL Heartbleed bug"

You've probably already heard about the so called Heartbleed bug that caused "secure" SSL connections to be a huge risk because attackers were (an on a lot of websites still are) able to force the server to leak private get private and secret information of other users. It's probably the biggest security issue the whole Internet has ever experienced.

Luckily the server of netsetman.com used a slightly older OpenSSL version that was not affected by that bug.

Nevertheless you should be aware of the fact that it is possible that all your information (including email-addresses, passwords in plain text and even payment information) was taken from other websites (including nearly all global players: social networks, shopping websites, banks, community forums, etc.) by criminals.

If you're using the same password for different websites you should change it now!
