Jonathan Katz, professor of computer science and director of the Maryland Cybersecurity Center (MC2), was quoted in a Christian Science Monitor article highlighting the still-existing threats from the security bug known as Heartbleed.

“Patching computers doesn’t cost anything. But having new certificates issued costs money. There has always been some speculation that incomplete fixes were a cost/benefit decision,” Katz said in the story.
