List of affected sites with recommendations on which to change your password. Unfortunately, you should also probably change any other sites on which you use the same password.
It's a good time to do an Expected Utility calculation!
if you think that: p(having your accounts compromised) * ( pain if accounts are compromised) > 1 * (inconvenience of changing passwords), then change em!
Also, might be a good opportunity for you to start using a password manager like LastPass
Before you change the password, though, make sure that the website patched the vuln and got a new certificate as private keys were one of those things potentially leaked. Changing the password for a site which didn't patch and get a new cert is worse than useless.
Absolutely right. The list I posted shows which have been patched as well.
Thanks for pointing that out.
