Hi there. I had a question about the Heartbleed threat going around. I would like to know if I go on a website which is compromised how much data will the hacker be able to pull? Will they only be able to take data from that websites servers or can they take data from some other website too on which I'm not even on at the moment?

If I'm on a compromised website the hacker can only see the data I have on that website and not any other site, right?

Thanks!

Heartbleed effects UNIX based systems, so your everyday Windows PC is safe from this one.
The media have blowen this way out of proportion...
