WormBase and the "Heartbleed" security issue
Recently, a serious security gap was identified in the software that provides the “secure” component of many websites. Called “Heartbleed“, this issue could possibly affect upwards of 2/3 of websites. Exploits of this issue leave no trace making it particularly vicious.
The WormBase website was also affected.
We have applied recommended security patches and are no longer vulnerable to this issue. We strongly encourage all registered users of WormBase to change their passwords.
Read more about Heartbleed on the NY Times or the original report documenting the issue.
