CUÁL ES EL PROBLEMA? QUÉ ES «HEARTBLEED»?

Una vulnerabilidad en la implementación del código abierto de los protocolos SSL y TLS permite a una persona no autorizada leer las contraseñas y llaves de encripción en la memoria del servidor.

QUÉ ES SSL?

Es un protocolo que sirve para instruir máquinas en cómo encriptar y decriptar intercambios da datos entre redes.

HA AFECTADO  «HEARTBLEED» a IB?

No se espera ningún impacto.

Los pocos servidores de IB que usaban la versión afectada de OpenSSL han sido actualizados y corregidos tan pronto como la vulnerabilidad fue detectada y el parche distribuido.

PROTEGE MEJOR EL SLS EN ESTA SITUACIÓN O SIMILARES?

El sistema de ingreso seguro (SLS) añade una protección extra al acceso con sus credenciales (usuario y contraseña). El usuario y la contraseña no son la única línea de defensa contra accesos no autorizados.

Usando su SLS al acceder le asegura que es usted la única persona que puede acceder a la cuenta.

DEBO CAMBIAR MI CONTRASEÑA?

Al haber tomado IB todas las medidas de seguridad, no es necesario, su contraseña no ha sido afectada por esta vulnerabilidad.

Aunque cambiar la contraseña regularmente es una buena medida de seguridad, no tiene que hacerlo ahora a causa de lo informado sobre «Heartbleed».

WAS IST DAS PROBLEM? WAS IST "HEARTBLEED"?

Die aufgezeigte Schwachstelle der Open Source Version der SSL und der TLS Protokolle erlaubt einer unautorisierten Person das Lesen von Passwörter und Kodierungsschlüssel im Speicher des Servers.

WAS IST SSL?

Dies ist ein in der Netzwerkommunikation angewendetes Protokoll, welches dem Rechner die Instruktionen gibt wie Daten Ver- und Entschlüsselt werden.

IST IB VON "HEARTBLEED" BETROFFEN?

Es werden keine Auswirkungen erwartet.

Die wenigen IB Servers, welche die betroffene Version von OpenSSL hatten, wurden sofort mit einem Sicherheitsupdate geschützt als die Schwachstelle identifiziert wurde.

IST ES SICHERER SLS IN DIESER SITUATION ZU BENUTZEN?

Das Sicherheits Login System fügt Ihren Zugangsdaten eine zusätzliche Sicherheitsebene hinzu. Der Benutzername und das Passwort sind so nicht mehr die einzige Gefahrenabwehr gegen einen unauthorisierten Zugang.

Das benutzen des Sicherheitsgeräts für die Einwahl zu Ihrem Konto garantiert, dass Sie die einzige Person sind welche Zugang zu Ihrem Konto hat.

SOLL ICH MEIN PASSWORT ÄNDERN?

Durch die zusätzlichen Sicherheitsvorkehrungen welche Interactive Brokers getroffen hat ist Ihr Password von dieser aufgezeigten Schwachstelle nicht betroffen.

Das regelmässige Ändern Ihres Passwortes ist grundsätzlich eine gute Sicherheitsmassnahme, Sie müssen diese aber aufgrund der gegenwärtigen Ereinisse nicht unbedingt anwenden. 

这是一个什么问题？ “HEARTBLEED”是指什么?

HEARTBLEED漏洞是指开源应用项目SSL（保安接层加密技术）和TLS（安全传输协议）协议的安全漏洞，它能让攻击者从服务器内存中读取密码和密钥。

什么是SSL?

SSL（保安接层加密技术）是一种安全协议，用于指令机器对网络通信中的数据进行加密和解密。

盈透是否受到“HEARTBLEED”漏洞的影响？

盈透未受该漏洞的影响。
在发现漏洞并有补丁发布之时，我们已经更新并修复了少数几个使用受影响的OpenSSL的盈透服务器。

出现这种问题及相似问题时，SLS是否可以更好的保护账户？

安全登录系统（SLS）为您在通过主要的登录凭证（用户名和密码）访问账户之外增添了另一层保护。
用户名和密码并不是阻止未经授权而访问账户的唯一防线。
使用SLS设备可确保只有您才能访问您的账户。

我是否需要更改密码？

盈透采取了其他安全措施，因此您的密码不会受到此漏洞的影响。
定期更换密码是防止账户被他人攻击的好方法，但是您不必在看到有关Heartbleed的报道时专门去更改密码。
