fud fud fud (well maybe not fud, but definetly overhyped)

NSA are not interestd in the general publics usernames and passwords. they hav bigger fish to fry.. so chill out hyping up info using your tin foil hats..

secondly, if bloodburg says something, quote bloomburg, not a 3rd party rewrite of a story, because it makes you look like a chinese whisperer with a link that is not source material and should be ignored.

thirdly if the NSA could use heartbleed for anything useful, then why did they need to contact google to get DPR's emails. why did they then contact the UK's GCHQ to brute force password break DPR's files??

Because the NSA are not as great as they claim. so chill out.

I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.
Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at

This would require both:

1) Running Bitcoin Core on Microsoft Windows.
2) Using the new SLL based payment protocol on a site under the control of the NSA.

Concerned that blockchain bloat will lead to centralization? Storing less than 4 GB of data once required the budget of a superpower and a warehouse full of punched cards. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/IBM_card_storage.NARA.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card

Because I really would love to make that information public so that you think I'm not that smart.

Do you really think DPR was a coincidence?

Heartbleed vuln is used to attack centralized websites which use OpenSSL. I think can not be used to crack Bitcoin algorithm to find you private keys.

No, unless there is real backdoor to access everything on your PC.
As your private keys are not transmitted across the web, it is only used to sign tx which is done locally.

But if you have bitcoins in exchanges etc etc. Time to change password.

What I do know is that heartbleed is dreadful. I can't begin to tell you how many sophos utms I've patched in the last 48 hours. This is exhausting.
