[Solved] Is SSL not secure any more? [closed]

Question

SSL as a protocol is still secure. That bug exists in OpenSSL, which is one implementation of SSL but not the only one.

As a parallel, imagine if a bug was found in Internet Explorer. You wouldn’t as a result then say “web browsing is not secure any more” – there are plenty of other web browsers, and they haven’t suddenly become insecure because Internet Explorer had a bug.
