well here we are, first confirmed Heartbleed theft that I've seen. I'm actually surprised they caught it.

About 900 social insurance numbers were stolen from the computers of the Canada Revenue Agency, the revenue department has confirmed, following a shutdown of its public online services caused by the Heartbleed Internet bug.
“Based on our analysis to date, Social Insurance Numbers (SIN) of approximately 900 taxpayers were removed from CRA systems by someone exploiting the Heartbleed vulnerability,” the CRA communiqué said. “We are currently going through the painstaking process of analyzing other fragments of data, some that may relate to businesses, that were also removed.”

tax filings have some of the most confidential information on you that is available, so if this happened to me I'd be pretty freaked. credit cards are one thing, but stuff like SIN and income are a whole new ballgame.
