In a survey published Wednesday, the Pew Research group found that around 60 percent of American adults — and 64 percent of those online — were aware of the problem. Even more surprising, 39 percent of Internet users surveyed were not only aware of the issue but also took the extra steps of protecting their online accounts by either changing their passwords or canceling accounts.

Despite the widespread flaw, more Americans still said that they feel their online information is "very" or "somewhat secure" than those who don't. And while 29 percent of Americans surveyed said that they think their information was put at risk as a result of Heartbleed, only 6 percent said they think the flaw actually allowed thieves to take their personal information.

It’s interesting to me that people think they are secure in a day and age where privacy and security is shaky and automated. Did you make any changes after you were made aware of Heartbleed?
