If you downloaded dropbox, well dropbox was/is vulnerable - so you have to change your passwords there!

NSA Said to Exploit Heartbleed Bug for Intelligence for Years

Quote
The U.S. National Security Agency knew for at least two years about a flaw in the way that many websites send sensitive information, now dubbed the Heartbleed bug, and regularly used it to gather critical intelligence, two people familiar with the matter said.

If the NSA stuck to what they were created for that's a good thing.
But they have way overstepped their mission. And are catching hell for it.
The NSA now has a huge image problem especially here in the U.S. of A.

Thank you for the link.   ;D   BTW, it is possible to directly download the file and view it later.  Just click on the MP4 or WMV blue hyperlink just below the video window and download it and you can then watch later when you have the time.  File size is 754 MB, so you will need a DSL connection or faster to get it tho, as dial-up would take eons.  Just saying.
