For you OSX and iOS using Freepers who have been worried about the Heartbleed Security Exploits and whether you are at risk on your Macs, iPhones, iPads, or iPod touches, rest easy. You are not.

Um, yes, you are. Granted, your phone is probably safe, but your bank account isn't specially protected just because you're using an Apple product to access it.

“Um, yes, you are. Granted, your phone is probably safe, but your bank account isn’t specially protected just because you’re using an Apple product to access it.”

“As Cluley tells us (in a request to correct a mistake in this article), “This isn’t Apple’s problem and there’s nothing for them to fix. But that doesn’t mean Apple users are safe from the effects of Heartbleed. All internet users were at risk if connecting to vulnerable online services - regardless of the platform they were using.”

Kind of like you said.
