I've read elsewhere and it seems to be confirmed by the BBC report that there are very few vulnerable devices. The problem is, no one is saying which they are.

TP link has some too. Subject to spoofing if your browser has the login/cookie for logins still and you visit any site with a correctly set spoofing advert (it just requests the cookie, and is done and dusted). They then get access to your router, which is a problem.

I doubt many of the devices are actually "secure". :/
