No, it's likely unrelated.

A friend shared the in-depth stuff:
An easy-to-use exploit that is being widely traded online allows an attacker to retrieve private memory of an application that uses the vulnerable OpenSSL “libssl” library in chunks of 64kb at a time. As CERT notes, an attacker can repeatedly leverage the vulnerability to retrieve as many 64k chunks of memory as are necessary to retrieve the intended secrets.

Popular sites which exhibit support for the TLS heartbeat extension include Twitter, GitHub, Yahoo, Tumblr, Steam, DropBox, HypoVereinsbank, PostFinance, Regents Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and the anonymous search engine DuckDuckGo.

And to put it into simple terms, they were stealing the information on their own; there's no hijacking of websites to get it, no viruses on your PC. Don't worry.

i have a question that i'm too lazy to reread the previous pages for the answer to, if you don't mind:

if they want money, how will users' accounts, both with and without money transactions, at compromised sites be affected?

please answer or redirect me to the page+post where the answer has been posted, thanks o/

They can transact money from the account, simply.
