Explanation / Answer

The data breaches are getting more common these days,and the internet users think that the quick security fixes and making a new password will save their future.

The Heart bleed encryption bug is apparently the best known breach of last few years.After almost two years the public came to know about the existence of the bug by security firm Codenomiconon.A huge number of companies were affected in which Amazon, Pinterest, Reddit, Tumblr, Airbnb, Wordpress, and Wattpad are included.Heartbleed affected about 17% of the Internet's secure web servers making passwords accessible to theft about the information that was normally protected by SSL/TLS encryption.
