OpenSSL Security Update

Firebase reported that while its realtime servers were not affected by the Heartbleed OpenSSL vulnerability, servers handling authentication for the Firebase website were vulnerable and could potentially have exposed credentials in transit. The company secured all affected services by 11 p.m. PDT on April 7 and stated that Firebase was no longer vulnerable. Although it found no evidence that passwords or private information had been compromised, Firebase advised all users to change their account passwords and reset Firebase Secrets through the App Dashboard because the vulnerability may have been exploited without detection. Firebase also emphasized that passwords are hashed with bcrypt, pledged continued monitoring and rapid response to future threats, and provided a security contact email for concerns.
