Important Security Advisory - Heartbleed Bug

Recently, a team of security researchers announced a vulnerability named “Heartbleed” (CVE‑2014‑0160) which affects SSL, the protocol most commonly used to secure transmission of sensitive data on the web, from credit cards to personal information, and the very keys that protect that data.  In this context, we would like to inform you that your Blackbaud products are secure.

More specifically, this vulnerability only affects software that uses the OpenSSL cryptographic libraries, typically based on Linux.  It does not affect all software that uses SSL; only software based on OpenSSL.

Most of Blackbaud products do not use the OpenSSL library and are not affected by this issue.  We have tested and validated that the products that may use OpenSSL, including Luminate Online, Team Approach, and Donor Direct do not have this vulnerability.
