    I would advise changing your password. Please feel free to visit Mojang's website on what happened and why. :smile:


    "Two days ago a serious vulnerability (that’s been named “Heartbleed”) in the popular cryptographic software OpenSSL was made public. This weakness could potentially be exploited to steal information, such as login information, that normally would be protected by encryption. This software is used by roughly two thirds of the internet so a lot of services were or are at risk of being affected."

    "What should I do?
    Change your Mojang/Minecraft account password
    Since uses of the exploit leaves no traces, there’s no way for us to guarantee that your password hasn’t been compromised. Therefore, if you typed in your password into any of our games or websites during the last couple of days we strongly advice you to change it. Even if you haven’t logged in, it can still be a good idea the to change your password. One can never be too careful on the internet!"

    No problem. You might want to see if you can get this pinned in the "News & Info" section because of its nature.

    Check if they use OpenSSL, Heartbleed is a vulnerability found in OpenSSL, a tool used by lots of corporates, like Mojang AB, and even several banks. Just have to wait a while for the companies to update their software.

    he pasted the link to the source. he didn't claim it as his own so it isn't plagarism.
