Internet bug Heartbleed doesn't just affect websites but, phones & IT gadgets.

Work phone: At least four types of Cisco IP phones were affected. If the phones are not behind a protective network firewall, someone could use Heartbleed to tap into your phone's memory banks. That would yield audio snippets of your conversation, your voicemail password and call log.
Company video conference: Some versions of Cisco's WebEx service are vulnerable. Hackers could grab images on the shared screen, audio and video too.
VPN: Some versions of Juniper's virtual private network service are compromised. If anyone tapped in, they could grab whatever is on your computer's memory at the time. That includes entire sessions on email, banking, social media -- you name it.
Smartphone: To let employees access work files from their iPhones and Android devices, some companies opt for Cisco's AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client app for iOS, which was impacted by Heartbleed. An outsider could have seen whatever you accessed with that app.
Switches: One type of Cisco software that runs Internet switches is at risk. They're notoriously hard to access, but they could let an outsider intercept traffic coming over the network.
This shite is catastrophic...

Time to put tape on my Web Cam when I masturbate.

Lets just say you should also cover smart phone camera's, xbox kinect. Also if you want to be really safe any car that you have bluetooth enabled you shouldn't get into because they are now hackable.... List goes on and on

Damn man the future looks bleak.
Technology will only get better and more widespread in years to come.
:( the price we will all have to pay for our daily comfort is becoming apparent
