The Heartbleed bug is a security vulnerability that has been found in the software that many sites around the world use, such as social media sites, company websites and commerce sites, to encrypt your user name, password and/or financial information when you log into "secure" websites.  This software is called OpenSSL.  This bug has the potential to expose private data.
