no.. this bug is from OpenSSL in general and like 50%+ of the common websites use it..
so yes, if you want to be absolutely save, change them everywhere.
it's funny to see how little people know about it and how people don't even make a little effort into reading what it is..
As soon as I posted this I Googled this and then I learned that soon after...
What is a Mojang Acount???? i have a minecraft account, but how do i change my password?? by the way i was trying to play on some servers but it says: Failed to login:Invalid session (try restarting your game). does this mean ived been hacked?!?!?!?!?
Well so there's something called OpenSSL. It protects what you typed (like passwords and so). But the- re's a bug that people can see what you typed. AKA they can see your passwords etc. Websites that use passwords are affected by this bug. So you can get hacked. Mojang fixed this ,but they are telling you to change your password just in case someone saw you password. Oh and the invalid session thing does NOT mean you've been hacked.

its not just minecraft, its called SSL Heartbleed, its affecting millions of websites, like yahoo, facebook, steam, possibly the google services we use like gmail and youtube, the list is seemingly endless, so its recommended u change ur password to most if not all websites you use and are a member of

I have windows 7 too so do I have to change my password?
Yes. To put it simply, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHATS ON YOUR END. Thats it, no anti virus, fire wall,OS etc can help you. It was a bug in openSSL, which means that when you log in (or pretty much an work done by a server with you credientials in it) , your infomatation is send over a secure encrpyted connection, so people cann't see your credentials, BUT, there was a flaw that can be exploited so it wasn't so secure. You may notice that it said linux though, well, more then 80% of the servers on the internet run linux. Although, given the nature of linux, things like this get a speedy fix. If you keep up with tech news or have an IOS device you may remeber when apple pushed ios 7.0.4 to ios 7.0.6. Same idea, it was a SSL flaw, although it wasn't the same, bugs in SSL have the basic end result of "its not secure now" . Basicly the SSL bug let someone do a man-in-the-middle attack on you when on the same wifi. Meaning, that a hacker could "pretend" to be a website because the data wasn't secure and get your info. The openSSL bug was like that, but not exactly, basicly, the info that was shared between you and the site and various other things are supposed to only be read by the place it's ment to go, using keys, encryption, and what not. There was a flaw/weakspot in the system so that if a process was done/expoited, the data send wouldn't be protected (the expoit made it plain and/or revealed the methods for keeping it secret, like encrpytion passwords) , so they could see the info in a format they could use.

If the cake is a lie........ does that mean if i build a house out of cake my house isn't real?
Your sense of style is pathetic , I always look to java programers for style , because where ever they are , they always have .class.
No just your Minecraft/Mojang account password.
They just told on the national news that it's beign recommended that everyone change their passwords everywhere due to the OpenSSL issue.

Log into your mojang account with your email, and then change it inside your mojang account.
If that does not work, contact customer support.

Cos if not, there's no point in changing passwords just yet, as hackers will still be able to heartbeat.
Yes, they have. That's why the services went down for a few hours a couple of days ago.
Just changed my password.
