Tumblr iPhone Vulnerability: Change Passwords Now

Warning for all users of Tumblr's iOS app: Change your password now, and upgrade to the latest version of the app on your iPhone or iPad.
The reason? Anyone using the app is vulnerable to having their Tumblr password "sniffed" in transit on certain versions of the app, according to a "very important security update" warning posted Tuesday to the Tumblr homepage by Derek Gottfrid, the company's VP of product.
"We have just released a very important security update for our iPhone and iPad apps addressing an issue that allowed passwords to be compromised in certain circumstances. Please download the update now," Gottfrid said. "If you've been using these apps, you should also update your password on Tumblr and anywhere else you may have been using the same password. It's also good practice to use different passwords across different services by using an app like 1Password or LastPass."
