Don't worry. Any web developer not in a coma will know about this by now. They will be dealing with it when possible

The pizza statement is true. There are no girlfriends on the internet.
(Because we are ugly, annoying, and addicted to computer games.)

Except you. And me. And all those people you know, including the ones who are lying. Especially the ones who are girls. Chris Hanson just doesn't have enough hours in the day to visit us all!

issue got officially fixed by Valve, strongly reccommended that you change your password and reset SteamGuard just to be on the safe side

changing your password while Valve is vulnerable is actually the worst thing you can do. the fact that people were recommending this was wtf?, "Hey, I can read Valves memory! let's change password, so the attacker can read your new password! what??"
Also "issue got officially fixed by Valve, strongly reccommended that you change your password and reset SteamGuard just to be on the safe side" pure bullshit.

I think you forgot to consider the fact Steam passwords are encrypted using RSA before being sent to the server in the SSL tunnel. So even if somebody was able to decrypt the SSL traffic, he wouldn't have access to the password.

first consequence of this: Valve please reset partner logins because heartbleed

Here, I found some info that clarify how the attack works:
Heartbeat allows one endpoint to go "I'm sending you some data, echo it back to me". It supports up to about 64 KiB. You send both a length figure and the data itself. Unfortunately, if you use the length figure to claim "I'm sending 64 KiB of data" (for example) and then only really send, say, one byte, OpenSSL would send you back your one byte -- and 64 KiB (minus one) of other data from RAM.
This allows the other endpoint to get random portions of memory from the process using OpenSSL. An attacker cannot choose which memory, but if they try enough times, their request's data structure is likely to wind up next to something interesting, such as your private keys, or users' cookies or passwords.

well,how big of a deal is if some1 gets my password,since the steam will request a code too once some1 tries to log into my acc from another IP?
So,a trouble could be if the steam PW is the same as PW as on email adress that is used.
Then again,even if he gets my email and its password,there is still a SMS/ Outlook authentificator app as a security.
They got 0 on me :D

SteamDB.info discovered that the Heartbleed bug is currently affecting steam. Here you can read what this bug exactly is. It's long yeah I didn't read it either. But here is what SteamDB.info says about it:
We recommend NOT using any Steam services until Valve issues a fix for a recently discovered vulnerability. We've contacted them about it.
It's a dangerous issue to everyone, it's more dangerous for developers because they deal with more sensitive content.
We'll inform you when it's fixed, and it's better to not do anything at the moment including logging off sites.
Lets hope they fix it fast, but for now; don't login or logout anywhere with your Steam acount! The only other, known, big player who is affected by this bug is Yahoo (Tumblr?).
