LogMeIn Security Update

This one surprised me today.

LogMeIn sending me an email, that was already a surprised since I do not recall creating an account there, but the most surprising was the text in the email saying "download this certificate". Any semi-knowledgeable person would know that certificates are on servers and just work. You do not specifically download them.

Also, as a server administrator, if it were truely a fix for Heartbleed, man! That company was S.L.O.W.

The two URIs in the email would say one thing and be something completely different. Both would send you to a hacked WordPress website:

Dear client,

We are pleased to announce that LogMeIn has released a new security certificate.
