With everyone talking about 'HeartBleed' – the major vulnerability in most website's encryption, many services will require users reset their passwords once they update their systems. This is often done via email – so hackers will have a field day sending fake password reset emails to users trying to capture their login credentials. The best thing you can do – unless you are 100% sure a link is legitimate is to go directly to the site and try to login. It will then prompt you to reset your password, or give you a link to do so. Be careful!
