Because the NSA are not as great as they claim. so chill out. Title: Re: Could the NSA got our privkeys or something with heartbleed? Post by: ArticMine on April 11, 2014, 08:12:17 PM This would require both:
1) Running Bitcoin Core on Microsoft Windows. 2) Using the new SLL based payment protocol on a site under the control of the NSA. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563048.msg6174364#msg6174364 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563048.msg6174364#msg6174364).

As your private keys are not transmitted across the web, it is only used to sign tx which is done locally. But if you have bitcoins in exchanges etc etc. Time to change password.

I can't begin to tell you how many sophos utms I've patched in the last 48 hours. This is exhausting.
