Does any of this have implications for us ordinary folks using PCs for a bit of surfing etc.? If so how and what, if anything, can we do about it? Presumably some of the sites we access might be vulnerable but how might that affect us? The brief BBC article on this mentioned home users looking out for device updates on things such as routers but how would we do this in practice and what devices are vulnerable?

TIA
