Hi folks,

We've posted elsewhere about Heartbleed, but just to make sure everyone's in the know:

Please be assured that Gransnet was not affected by Heartbleed because it does not use the OpenSSL security framework so no personal data was accessed on Gransnet. Heartbleed has affected many websites around the world so it is always good practice to change your passwords periodically - if you'd like to reset your GN password you're more than welcome.

Just go to the log in page and click password reset email. You'll be sent a link to click (it's only valid for half an hour, so keep an eye on your inbox/spam) which will take you back to the site to choose a shiny new password.

I have just checked with RBS today and anybody banking with them need not worry.
