    Heartbleed bug - does VB have any exposure to this, natively or at the backend?

    As per the subject line, reading a lot about Heartbleed bug at the moment, (newspapers love a good scare story) is there anything in VB to worry about or should we be talking to our hosting companies? Any guidance on this?

      The bug is not part of the vBulletin software. If you have a site running the https protocol (an SSL certificate) you may want to inquire with your host if they use Open SSL and have patched their servers.
