What has the church tech group done about Heartbleed?

Many responsible website operators are posting prominent welcome messages on their login screens or homepages. I would love to see the issue addressed on LDS.org. I think what people want to know is: Does LDS.org (or any of the single-logon LDS sites) use OpenSSL? If so, has the church tech department addressed the issue by: a) applying the latest patch fix, and b) when will you have new security certificates?

FamilySearch.org has addressed this issue, however the most current information I can find indicates it is currently not wise to log into LDS.org:

Patching and installing new certificates has already been done. See this post: https://tech.lds.org/forum/viewtopic.ph ... ed#p122730

I don't know that they have any plans to advertise this on the home page or the SSO page.

LastPass is incorrect. The equipment vendor has confirmed that their equipment was not affected by Heartbleed. A new LDS.org certificate was issued on April 8, 2014.

It looks like LastPass has been updated. It now says that lds.org was never vulnerable.
