Slowly, more information about the Heartbeat bug is becoming available. From the various sources I (fairly arbitrarily) picked two for your perusal (and follow-up, when and where warranted):

- The critical, widespread He...fo safe
- The Heartbleed Bug

It has been noted here and elsewhere that the SSL flaw didn't affect certain Mac OS X versions, based on the SSL version(s) used there. However, everyone accessing compromised web servers may still have had sensitive data exposed and should respond accordingly. In addition to keeping track of server update deployment, users may want to update affected browsers and other web apps they rely on. The first (PC-World) article linked to above lists ways to keep track of both update activities.
