How would they know?

You can check for the bug, but not if it has been exploited.

re http://safeweb.norton.com/heartbleed

I pay for a couple of Norton products, and I got that link from them and the warning this past week and used it.

At this time I have over 30 links which I use on a regular basis and none had a heartbleed problem or warning. Even Yahoo has cleaned up its terrible email problems and was considered to be safe.
