The National Security Agency not only knew about Heartbleed for at least two years, the agency used it to gather intelligence, according to a report.

Bloomberg News says NSA found it, used it, didn't report it. NSA and White House deny.

NS4 probably doesn't need stuff this basic if they already have back doors into every type of firewall or network card's firmware. But yeah, this denial keeps us all quiet and happy.
