Search, Gmail, YouTube, Wallet, Play, Apps, and App Engine. Google being Google is allowed to issue itself SSL certificates. I believe they used to rely on Thawte.
Well, I went to LastPass and entered Norton.com. And I don't like what I'm seeing.
LastPass:
The SSL certificate for norton.com valid 12 months ago at Apr 23 00:00:00 2013 GMT.This is before the heartbleed bug was published, it may need to be regenerated.
You can check any particular domain using this test. The test offered by LastPass gives even more information. For example, a site that uses OpenSSL and regenerated its security certificates in the last two days may well have been vulnerable before."
My understanding is that there are two steps to the certfication process - an update of the OpenSSL software to the latest v. 1.0.1g (the critical bug fix - see the KrebsOnSecurity article here) and the re-issuing and testing of security certificates for the site (which takes some additional time). My best guess is that the HeartBleed test site checks the status of SSL (the secure sockets layer protocol) on the site, while the LastPass test site provides additional information on the status of the security certificates. An out-of-date security certificate does not necessarily mean that the server uses the OpenSSL encryption protocol or that OpenSSL, if used, has not been patched.
I just re-checked Norton.com on the HeartBleed test site and got the following. I'm not sure if the code for the test site has been changed to improve the detection of data leaks or if there is some other reason why Norton.com is now reported as vulnerable.

First of all, I'd like to clarify that what quoted above as well as in your post/Message #19 :
"You can check any particular domain using this test. The test offered by LastPass gives even more information. For example, a site that uses OpenSSL and regenerated its security certificates in the last two days may well have been vulnerable before."
are not my own words,,, I was just quoting that part of the article I had linked to in my posts,and which gave the links to the websites where to check servers vulnerability.
That said, from what I read I think you are right about there beingtwo steps to the certfication process but unfortunately my knowledge here is not as good as yours so I think I'd better not comment on this point.

ISC is reporting the beginning of incoming emails purporting to be from damaged accounts and with links to reset your password ... so note this WARNING
Brace Yourselves (and your Users / Clients) for Heartbleed SPAM
[ ... ]
<<Helpful emails with links in them are in most cases NOT helpful. Don't click that link!
If it's legitimate, and especially this week, by all means browse to the affected site and change your password. That's always a good idea. But following an email link to a password change page is a good way to get your credentials stolen, or a good way to pick up a nice "gift" of malware. >>
Should be aware their data could have been seen by a third party if they used a vulnerable service provider.
Monitor any notices from the vendors you use. Once a vulnerable vendor has communicated to customers that they should change their passwords, users should do so.
Avoid potential phishing emails from attackers asking you to update your password – to avoid going to an impersonated website, stick with the official site domain."

Weird thing about norton.com... I checked it again at http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/ and I got exactly the same result as in my post/Message #22 ? It would be interesting to know what others get.
Hi Rainbow_2:
I tested Norton.com again at http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/ and now see the same "All Good" result that you reported yesterday in message # 22. I don't know enough about the inner workings of the test to know if the inconsistent results have something to do with the Norton.com site having multiple back-end servers.
The following comment is from the Heartbeat Test FAQ so it's also possible that the "Vulnerable" result I posted in message # 28 was a false positive.
"Update: still, I'm getting consistently reports of unaffected versions going red for one, maybe two time(s) maximum, if it happens repeatedly the site IS vulnerable."
If anyone sees an official statement by Symantec regarding the status of their own servers (especially those used to store encrypted Identity Safe login passwords) I'd appreciate if they could post a link in this thread.

Just out of curiosity, I tried the tester at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html with norton.com. I took 30-40 seconds to report back on 3 servers with inconsistent results & an F grade on one. So on a whim I entered www.ssllabs.com and it came back in less than a second with a list of 5 servers, all ranked A+... Yeah, right.
