Wow seems like a pretty serious breech. CRA has shut down their on line filing system.

and there's plenty of mis-information on the news services. at a minimum, after they implement the fix which only came available 2 days ago, we need to change the passwords on all important accounts. every account would be better but some of us have way to many. so...email and banks first. then social. then odds-and-ends. the hard part will be knowing when they are fixed.

Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP on April 8, 2014 and this shit happens on April 9, 2014.

Don't file your tax return electronically until you get the all clear from the CRA.

Absolutely nothing to do with Windows XP or Microsoft. This is a vulnerability in OpenSSL, an open source implementation of the SSL and TLS protocols commonly distributed with Linux / apache.

Damn, so I can't blame Microsoft (the killer of XP) for this one.
