    I got a panicked call from my grandmother last basically night saying that someone got all her passwords and she was going to mail me her computer and phone so I could delete everything before they stole her money. What ever news channel she was watching said that everyone needed to go change all their passwords right that second, especially for their banks, because of Heartbleed. From what I can see, the only one that she should change is Yahoo and honestly, if someone wants to get into her email and stop her from forwarding crappy chain mail, I'd appreciate it. I want her to update all her passwords anyway, but the crap that some of the news outlets are putting out about "change every password you have right now or you're doomed" is crazy. Many websites are going to need time to secure themselves so changing your password before they do that won't do anyone any good.
