Thanks for posting this. It appears to be a big deal.
At the very lest, after our banks and stuff have had time to upgrade, its time to change all passwords.

The best advice is that if you intend to change passwords, do so on websites that test immune to the exploit. If you change them on sites that are not yet patched and which are now being probed by hackers, your newly changed password might be bled out.
All of this is very iffy right now. I was forced to change my password for Domaintools.com to use it. But, after testing the site, it only received a B and C for its own configuration security.
Test websites using SSL via the Qualys SSL Labs Tester.
Also, watch out for fake email messages about clicking to reset your password on this site or that site. Treat them as suspicious unless you use a mouse and can hover over the links to reveal the actual domain linked to. Otherwise, play it safe and log on directly, from saved bookmarks, or memory. Watch out for typos and typo-squatter websites set up as phishing sites.
