    If you use Lastpass then login to their web site and choose the security scan option. It'll go through all of the sites you've got info stored for and tell you which (if any) are affected and what you should do for each one.

    For 817 sites on mine only 4 are potentially affected.

    Don't forget to change the Lastpass password

    I tested a few sites - so for i have found gumtree is vulnerable

    http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/ - this test is a bit unrelaible as often it comes back with 'something went wrong' - for example it seems quite hard to repeat the gumtree is vulnerable report

    So if a website comes back with 'soemthing went wrong' do not assume it is not vulnerable

    All good, https://www.gumtree.com seems fixed or unaffected!

    You can test here. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html

    What banks are safe? Why are none of them making any reference or announcement on their sites?

    Just received an e- mail fromCoventry Building Society saying their site is safe.

    No need to panic over this. All the banking websites ive seen dont have the exploit anyway.

    And remember this has been exploitable for 2 years now. Chances are if anyone was exploiting it on a mass scale we would know about it by now

    I think the site only deals with the main URLs.
    This site https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/, however, does check that full address. (it passes)

    Exactly and despite all the publicity there are no reports of anyone being hacked due to Heartbleed, as far as I know. The point of the publicity was to inform of the vulnerability, most of the main players seemed to have fixed or were unaffected.
