Ye Bloody Gods!!! 74 percent of big business yet to fix Heartbleed flaw

According to new research from Venafi, apparently some 74 percent of 'Forbes Global 2000 organizations' (or the big boys of business if you prefer) have yet to properly secure their public facing servers against the Heartbleed OpenSSL threat. That's a year after the thing broke for goodness sake! Venafi found that at least 580,000 hosts belonging to this elite group of enterprises were still vulnerable as full and proper threat remediation had not been applied. They were patched, yes, but did not bother with the equally important steps of replacing private keys and revoking the old certificates. Apparently, looking at the market in general, it would seem that more than half of organizations simply have no idea how many keys or how many certificates have, or even where they are being used. If you are in the US you can be happiest, if that's the right word, as your big business boys sit just behind Germany at the top of the remediation tree with a 41 percent total. That's still pretty poor, of course, but way better than Australia on 16 percent.
