Answer 1

You have to wait until the websites that you are using patches their servers and software. After the websites does their patches then you should immediately change your password. I know Yahoo and all its services (including Yahoo mail) recently patched and fixed the Heartbleed security so yes you should change your password on yahoo mail.



Here is a list of all the websites that have or have not patched their servers and software.

The past few days have exposed HeartBleed as much worse than originally estimated, despite reports of it _not_ being as bad as we thought. __Never__ wait for a breach to change your password. If you are serious about protecting your account, simply change your password. You can increase entropy for your passwords by using nifty tools like One Shall Pass (attached) to help you remember them. Read the description of how tools like this work before you disregard them.
