Obamacare enrollees urged to change passwords over Heartbleed bug

Americans with accounts on President Barack Obama's health insurance enrollment website, HealthCare.gov, were advised that their passwords had been reset to guard against the "Heartbleed" bug, in a message posted on the site.

The warning marks the latest fallout from the widespread security bug, which surfaced in March and allows hackers to steal data online without a trace.

A message on HealthCare.gov said users who visited the website would need to create a new password to access their accounts. "While there's no indication that any personal information has ever been at risk, we have taken steps to address Heartbleed issues and reset consumers' passwords out of an abundance of caution," said the message.
