    1313During the period in which our servers were vulnerable it was possible for someone who can access your traffic to compromise the key that encrypts that traffic. If your key was compromised, then fixing the bug is not enough: you'll need to generate a new key and get a new x509 certificate.

    2727No. It's your choice and you may decide that it's not worth the effort. To compromise your site, an attacker must have access to your Internet traffic and must of taken advantage of this bug either in the last 24 hours or prior to the public release of the bug. For most sites, that's unlikely. On the other hand, we now have concrete information about massive spying operations by the National Security Agency, including huge databases of recorded Internet traffic.
