Heartburn from the Heartbleed Vulnerability

What is the Heartbleed vulnerability really about, how do you defend yourself, and how many of your favorite web sites are still vulnerable?

The heartbleed bug was caused by a coding error in the OpenSSL crypto library used by 17% of all the sites on the Internet using HTTPS.

In the aftermath of the bug we have discovered some serious weaknesses in many of the systems that make the Internet possible.

Is public key infrastructure up to the task of protecting our most sensitive data?

Has Linus's Law been refuted? Can we trust open source software?

Was the heartbleed bug a text book case of responsible disclosure?

Not all the vulnerable sites have patched for heartbleed. How do you know if the service you are using is safe?
