By now, you’ve probably heard of the Heartbleed computer bug. Cruzio’s engineers were immediately aware of the issue and conducted a full review of our systems which showed that Cruzio systems, including our website and email, were never affected by the bug. Your personal information and data is absolutely not at risk through using our services.

The issue involves a piece of software called OpenSSL which encrypts secure websites. Many popular sites and services like Facebook, Gmail and Instagram were affected and have since fixed their vulnerability. They are now suggesting users change their passwords.

You can see a list of popular sites, whether they were affected and what there advising, here:

Don’t use the same password on multiple sites
Change your passwords periodically
