Sounds like another heartbleed type headache....thanks for sharing Chris, I will run a couple of my sites through this

For sure!

Vulnerable at Disclosure (March 1)
HTTPS — Top one million domains 25%
HTTPS — All browser-trusted sites 22%
HTTPS — All sites 33%

It's also an interesting take on modern marketing. Researchers now realise that they need to brand and market these critical vulnerabilities to get mass awareness, and it works! Mainstream media are much more likely to pick up the story, just like Heartbleed and Poodle.
