Canadian tax agency confirms "Heartbleed" data loss
Canada's equivalent of the US Internal Revenue Service - The Canada Revenue Agency - has confirmed that confidential citizen tax-related information has been stolen from their web portal via the recent "HeartBleed" flaw in the widely-used open-source OpenSSL library.
This should serve as a wakeup-call to those who poo-poo the significance of this very serious issue.
BlackBerry itself has backtracked somewhat from blanket assurances given last week, and now admits that it is working on patching the Android/iOS versions of BBM, as well as some other BlackBerry products affected by the issue.
