Just got this through from the CEO of OTS AV Software:

Ots Corporation "Heartbleed" Pro-Active Security Statement of Non-Compromise (PASSNC) Less than 24 hours ago on Monday April 7th, 2014, an extremely serious vulnerability, dubbed Heartbleed, in the OpenSSL cryptographic library used by around two-thirds of the internet was made public. Security related bugs and vulnerabilities occur regularly, however this particular bug is so serious in both scale and nature that virtually every internet user will be affected in some way, whether directly, or indirectly via third-party systems utilized by services they rely on. Ots Labs wishes to advise that all customer data, including but not limited to OtsZone user profiles is safe and has never been subject to this vulnerability.

I think it's more scary that they've released such a statement which brings it's attention to even more hackers before the vulnerability has been plugged. That's the reason you don't hear about these flaws straight away - they don't want even more bad guys to take advantage.
