You may have heard of this vulnerability called heartbleed. It affected over 500,000 servers on the internet. It also made half of the internet change their passwords. There is even a website that gives you bytes of memory from random servers on the Internet. Heartbleed also had the largest advertising budget of any Pwnie nomination this year.
