Because the windows installers 2.3.2-I001 to 2.3.2-I003 were built with
a vulnerable OpenSSL library, and since heartbleed works both ways, if 
you have a malicious server (or someone who manages to get your clients
talk to his server, by routing / DNS / MITM attacks), the attack can also
be used to extract information from the clients.
