Widely exploited?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbleed

Possible exploitation prior to disclosure 

 Many major web sites patched or disabled the bug within days of 
 its announcement,[30] but it is unclear whether potential attackers were aware 
of 
 it earlier and to what extent it was exploited. Based on examinations of audit 
logs 
 by researchers, it has been reported that some attackers may have exploited 
the 
 flaw for at least five months before discovery and announcement.[31][32] 
Errata 
 Security has partially rejected this hypothesis,[33] whereas the Department of 
 Homeland Security believes that as of April 11, "there have not been any 
reported 
 attacks or malicious incidents involving this particular vulnerability 
confirmed".
