This heartbleed bug has far-reaching implications and we were discussing this with Dave Taylor of AskDaveTaylor.com – he asked if we could provide him with an original piece on the security vulnerability – that blog article can be found here:
Greg wrote the article and rushed it over (excuse any typos not picked up in the first-pass edit) – this article then went on to become the basis for an article we published here on our own blog. Dave got the first “hot off the presses version”!
About Dave Taylor:
Okay, so who is this Dave Taylor guy behind Ask Dave Taylor anyway?
Thanks for asking! Let’s see… I’ve been in the computer industry since 1980, believe it or not, and have been online since before the beginning of the Internet. Some say that it wasn’t Al Gore but me who actually invented the Internet, but between Bob Metcalfe, Vint Cerf, Jon Postel, Tim Berners-Lee and many others, we all contributed – big steps or little – to the amazing tool it is today.
