The Heartbleed bug has apparently been around since March 2012 but it was only discovered 2 days ago. The sites that have could possibly be infected are the sites that begin with https:// which are many of the secure sites you visit.

If you own an account on any of these sites, it is highly-recommended that you change your password immediately.

A few sites that were not affected are Twitter, PayPal, eBay, and Craigslist.
