It's a major vulnerability that means any TLS (ie HTTPS) connection can potentially leak any system memory.

We currently don't have any information regarding this and if it effects our routers. We're trying to obtain further information and as soon as we have any we'll provide an update.

Many thanks. I'm sure that elite hackers jumping on this have bigger targets than my pokey house in the middle of no-where, but it's good to know.

Looks as though the major banks and Amazon are OK but not Amazon Webservices and Google including Gmail
Checking my Google Account I probably won't bother as there isn't any payment method associated with it and it is a unique password
I don't have Gmail

So why all this advice to change passwords if you can just buy, update or use an old router?
What does Plusnet suggest I do with my phone - should I buy a new one or not use it to access their website?
