About Heartbleed Vulnerability
by John Matogo 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Dear colleagues. Some useful information you need to be aware of. <http://heartbleed.com/> <http://heartbleed.com/> http://heartbleed.com/ The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs). The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.

Nation.co.ke Subdomains Down
by Robert Ndungu 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Over the past few days, nation.co.ke sub-domains seem to have gone down. NTV (ntv.nation.co.ke) & Nairobi News (nairobinews.nation.co.ke) websites are not reachable. Any news articles that have links to widgets.nation.co.ke are taking very long to load. The social media accounts for NTV are giving direct links to youtube videos. Anyone else noticed this?
