Heartbleed: the biggest Internet security exploit so far.
So, basically, back in 2011, the OpenSSL code was "fixed" and included a bug. The bug allows any unauthenticated user to be able to get 64k of memory, which often includes plaintext usernames and passwords, and other sensitive information.
So, once all of the banks, email servers, and other online sites that store user data get their OpenSSL patched, everyone will have to change their login info. Yay.
