SHORELESS

The Heart­bleed bug was dis­closed on 1st of April 2014. This mas­sive secu­rity vul­ner­a­bil­ity in OpenSSL pro­to­col has been pre­sent since the relase of OpenSSL ver­sion 1.0.1 on March 2012. While it left peo­ple scram­bling to change their pass­words left, right and cen­ter, we'd like to inform our cus­tomers, that our web­sites and the man­aged host­ing accounts have been save and secure.

Our servers used OpenSSL ver­sion 1.0.0 and 0.9.8 which where not affected by the Heart­bleed bug . To ensure none of our cer­tifi­cates have been com­pro­mised dur­ing its issu­ing process on third party servers and com­mu­ni­ca­tion chan­nels, we renewed all our SSL certfi­cates.

What should you/your customers do next?

No data on our servers has been breached. The cer­tifi­cates on your man­aged host­ing have been reis­sued as well. You don’t need to take any action regard­ing our site or ser­vices. How­ever, this bug has been out there for a long time and it's pos­si­ble that sites you or your cus­tomers reg­u­larly visit would be sus­cep­ti­ble the vul­ner­a­bil­ity.

You can check whether or not sites are sus­cep­ti­ble using this tool: http://fil­ippo.io/Heart­bleed/

We rec­om­mend you and your cus­tomers gen­er­ate new pass­words for any web­site in which sen­si­tive infor­ma­tion is stored, such as email, bank­ing, etc. How­ever, you should wait until these sites have updated their OpenSSL ver­sion and replaced their cer­tifi­cates with new cer­tifi­cates being issued on 8th of April 2014 or later.

We're happy to announce, that the Ger­man IOc3 GmbH and Mario Steinitz Con­sult­ing out­sourced their inter­na­tional pro­ject busi­ness to the newly estab­lished SHORELESS Ltd., where the con­sul­tants and devel­oper teams from both com­pa­nies join forces.

Dur­ing the last year, both com­pa­nies have been opti­miz­ing and uni­fy­ing their processes for pro­ject man­age­ment and qual­ity assur­ance. The spin­off of their pro­ject busi­ness to SHORELESS Ltd. was the next step in a series of opti­mi­sa­tion mea­sures. As a sole-based enter­prise, SHORELESS Ltd. will pro­vide its ser­vices not only to IOc3 GmbH and Mario Steinitz Con­sult­ing, but also directly to agen­cies and other com­pa­nies in need of high qual­ity soft­ware devel­op­ment.

The inter­na­tional ori­en­ta­tion of SHORELESS Ltd., its expe­ri­enced work­force and an effec­tive and tar­geted pro­ject man­age­ment guar­an­tees timely deliv­ered and reli­able IT solu­tions at rea­son­able prices. The highly inte­grated qual­ity assur­ance processes ensure the qual­ity, easy main­te­nance and scal­a­bil­ity of its prod­ucts.
