We all know that we need to take our online security seriously, but we rarely do anything to improve our own situations. Even when we hear about data breaches, the odds that we’ll go and change passwords are relatively slim. We might get occasional emails and updates from the sites we log into about our security, but we tend not to get worked up for anything less than proof someone has been messing around with our personal bank accounts.

But Heartbleed has been different.

Heartbleed is a result of an ecosystem without an appropriate level of resources; we rely on open source, but most of us don't put time or money into the system. The best way to protect yourself is to, first, stay aware of what's happening with the technology you use, and, second, to back open source projects in whatever way you can.
