Has this website been compromised by the heart bleed bug?
No, but your brain has drained.
Are there any intelligent responses out there?

Have you seen symptoms of attack?
Not as Yet, but I also don't wish to see any.
A question to my question. Not the answer I am looking for.

1284, now you're really asking a lot!! :lol:
Maybe if you explain yourself, and we know what the heck you're talking about, you'll get some real answers.
1284, sometimes, my wife says in a sultry voice, let's go to bed! Like a whirlwind, I'm showered and laying in bed, before she even gets up. well, I'm so dumb, how did I know she actually meant, go to sleep! And not much point in getting back up either, as by then, my rerun of Crusader Rabbit is over. :lol:

Only the admin can answer that.
Since it is a forum, this a DBase so potentially (open)SQL SSL.
From there, who knows but the admin?
That guy is quick on the trigger but slow on direct answers so... Don't hold your breath. If you or others like you are worried, move on.
I believe the heartbleed bug is a computer virus. Am I correct?

No. It is a weakness in (open)SQL SSL free license servers that has been recently exposed as a possible backdoor to steal data. (Said to be used by NSA for a looooong time).

I haven't seen any SSL used on this site (identified by the "https:" prefix), so it's doubtful the heartbleed bug has affected UHH, since heartbleed is a vulnerability in the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transport mechanism used by OpenSSL (there are other SSL products out there unaffected by Heartbleed).

More infoHeartbleed is neither a virus nor is a SQL vulnerability. It is a bug in the OpenSSL transport layer which many web sites use to encrypt transactional information.
When you purchase something online through a "shopping cart," many sites use the OpenSSL package (it's free, after all) for encryption and security purposes. A vulnerability was discovered in it that could be exploited. This was called "heartbleed."
There are other SSL packages available. Only OpenSSL had that specific vulnerability.
I believe Rongnongno is thinking of "SQL injection," which is another form of exploit that could be used to hack into online databases. Most SQL injections have been identified and coded against by now.
