my advice to everybody to fallow would be to use a pre-paid credit cards
when shopping on line never one that is linked to your main checking account
and never put more on that card than your willing to lose or more than needed for the use you plain on

Upgrade openSSL package provided in stable updates.

OpenSSL 1.0.1g and/or GNUTLS 3.3.0 is recommended to fix this.

Afterwards you should start password updates and read up into locking down SSH accessibility if necessary, and check firewalls, run anti-malware tools, and other security checks as needed to be safe. This was a bad bug so don't take any chances.

Look at mancha's threads: Heartbleed: cauterizing the wounds & [Slackware security] vulnerabilities outstanding 20140101 for some helpful information.
