Heartbleed Computer virus - Do you need to change your passwords?

Some of you may not have heard yet but there is a computer virus called "Heartbleed" that has comprised many websites/social media sites. The Heartbleed virus permits unauthorized users to obtain private data (user account information/passwords/log on information).

I have been in contact with our IT experts asking about this virus. Our IT experts forwarded me a list of popular websites/social media sites that explains whether they were compromised by this virus or not. If you visit one of the listed sites that were compromised or is listed as "questionable" you need change your passwords ASAP!

Here is the link with the affected sites and the ones you should change your passwords. If you cannot follow the link by clicking on it, "copy" and "past" the link into your web browser.
