There has been a lot of news about the security risks of the Heartbleed SSL Bug since April 9. While Omnidawn web sites do use SSL certificates none of them use the version that is vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug. Even more importantly, our credit card processor, PayPal, which is the only web site that ever receives credit card information, is also safe from the Heartbleed bug because the version of SSL it uses is also not the vulnerable version. The information in the statements below emphasize that these web sites are safe from the heartbleed bug, and furthermore have never used the version of SSL that is vulnerable and therefore have never been vulnerable to the heartbleed bug.
So you are aware of the details, below are bulletins from PayPal and the companies that host and maintain security for the Omnidawn web sites stating that none of these sites are vulnerable. The first statement is from PayPal, which is most importantly the only site that ever receives credit card information. Although the Omnidawn web sites www.omnidawn.NET and www.omnidawn.COM never receive or hold credit card information, www.omnidawn.net does contain contact information, manuscript files, and the passwords used to enter Submission Manager personal accounts. All of this information is safe from the heartbleed bug as described in the statement below from the company that hosts this web site, Dreamhost. The web site www.Omnidawn.COM also can contain contact information if you join our mailing list, and this web site and any information it contains is also secure from the heartbleed bug, as stated by the company that hosts this site and maintains its security, Bluehost.
