    The Heartbleed bug was a vulnerability in OpenSSL software that allowed unauthorized access to private user data stored on vulnerable systems, including names, passwords, and other sensitive content. A patched version of OpenSSL was released in 2014 to address the issue, though some outdated and unpatched systems remain at risk. Developers must update to the fixed version to prevent attacks exploiting this bug, which was introduced in 2012 but not discovered until two years later.

    The heaHeartbleed bug is a bug present in popular OpenSSL software libraries.

    It allows people
    on the internet to read memories of systems that are protected by weak versions of OpenSSL.
    This includes names, passwords, and other content about the users of the particular software of
    app. A fixed OpenSSL version has been released to replace the older one, and developers have
    to adapt this new software to stop the vulnerability. It was first introduced in 2012 and
    discovered and fixed in 2014.
    There are still unpatched systems to this day that still use the older unsafe version, rendering
    them susceptible to be attacked through this bug.
