We Protected Our Clients From Heartbleed Vulnerability

You're protected from the Heartbleed vulnerability because we have CloudFlare on our website. They fixed the flaw on March 31 for all CloudFlare customers, a week before it was publicly announced.

Heartbleed (CVE-2014-0160, http://www.openssl.org/) is a flaw in OpenSSL, encryption software used by the vast majority of websites to protect sensitive information. This vulnerability in OpenSSL allows an attacker to reveal up to 64KB of memory to a connected client or server. This flaw could expose sensitive data such as passwords or usernames - even when you thought it was encrypted.

Another reason to use companies like us, because we care and put the extra effort into protecting our clients in this modern age.
