TECHi's Take
To address vulnerabilities in programs related to the “Heartbleed” security threat, BlackBerry Ltd. intends to release security updates for messaging software for Android and iOS devices by Friday, Reuters reported Sunday. Security experts first told companies to focus on securing vulnerable websites, but since then, they’ve warned about threats to technology used in data centers and on mobile devices running Google‘s Android software and Apple Inc’s iOS software. Last week, researchers cautioned that they found Heartbleed, a bug that goes after the OpenSSL software often used to keep informatio secure, potentially enabling hackers to rob enormous troves of data without leaving any traces, according to Reuters.
