US government denies being aware of Heartbleed internet bug theguardian.com I guess you could have reported the bug years ago, but you could have also gotten tasered or maybe even hollow pointed by the NSA as a terrorist suspect. I suspect the authors were even advised to put the flaw in there to start with. an earlier story theguardian.com Robin Seggelmann, a programmer based in Germany, submitted the code in an update submitted at 11:59pm on New Year's Eve, 2011. It was supposed to enable a function called "Heartbeat" in OpenSSL, the software package used by nearly half of all web servers to enable secure connections. His update did enable Heartbeat, but an "oversight" led to an error with major ramifications. But it accidentally created the "Heartbleed" vulnerability, which has been described as a "catastrophic" flaw which laid the contents of thousands of web servers open to hackers. It has also been discovered in Cisco and Juniper routing gear, which could mean that hackers could capture sensitive data such as passwords passing over the internet. Seggelmann worked on the OpenSSL project during his PhD studies, from 2008 to 2012, but isn't involved with the project any more. He told the Guardian that the mistake has nothing to do with its festive datestamp. "The code… was the work of several weeks. It’s only a coincidence that it was submitted during the holiday season.
