My point is that there have probably been hundreds of these types of events going back to the ancient times of the internet. The sky is not falling guys, just a good downpour.
My point is that heartbleed is unique in its combination of severity and scope. Something like 25% of all the web servers on the internet could have their most private data extracted for a period of two years. The sky isn't falling, but I can't think of anything else that comes close. Vulnerabilities that affect individual sites, while still really bad, still don't approach this.
