    The only notification ive got in relation to heartbleed has been from gearbox,asking me to change my SHiFT password that i use in Borderlands 2.

    I did read somewhere that some sites/clients had not been patched so will only receive notifications to change pw when they are patched

    Why?

    Its from uplay 100% could be heartbleed related or just a weird way for them to make me change my password. never bought anything via uplay so not really concerned its only there from steam games.

    Doesn't have to be Heartbleed. Accounts just sometimes get hacked. Don't follow any links on the email and just go to uplay and change your password there if you're concerned.
