We first learned of the Heartbleed Bug that allowed access to loads of sensitive internet data usually locked down by OpenSSL encryption just hours ago. And Google has been hard at work on the fixes. The folks in Mountain View have already patched its main services like Apps, App Engine, Gmail, Play, Search, Wallet and YouTube. There's no need to worry about Chrome or Chrome OS either, as those two bits of software aren't affected by the vulnerability. In terms of Android, all versions of the mobile operating system are immune to the security flaw, save for 4.1.1. For that lone exception, Google says patching details are being sent to its partners for distribution. While the key bits have been secured, there's on-going work to update other services like Cloud SQL and others.
