Of course they didn't use the Heartbleed bug for at least the last two years. How do I know? Because the NSA said they weren't even aware of it, so how could they possibly have used it?
“NSA was not aware of the recently identified vulnerability in OpenSSL, the so-called Heartbleed vulnerability, until it was made public in a private-sector cybersecurity report. Reports that say otherwise are wrong," the agency said in a statement to NBC News. Only problem with this official statement is that the statement did not provide the highly parsed legalese definition of at least the following words and/or phrases: NSA, aware, recently, so-called, public, report, otherwise, wrong."
