Noted! I plan to do so shortly then. Thanks, I'm concerned whether it's been patched on some sites or not.

I'm not so worried about my things being exposed nor am I paranoid. But hey if you see weird shit popping up it's not me.

They don't use openSSL why would they be affected by heartbleed :P.. anyway most sites probably already fixed it you should only be scared if you had enemies who hate you and bothered stealing your password :P -and site doesn't requird additional authentications on new devices like codes sent to mobile-

Eh, Facebook is a useless site anyway.
I've had enough of the news. They're nothing but opportunistic, sensationalist, scandalous and controversial fakes. This is their latest piece on how golf causes mass acts of violence:

Yes I am aware that that's a paddle and not a golf club. Sue me.

At least one forum account was accessed by another user via the heartbleed exploit. (this has since been resolved)

Here are some articles about it:
