A majority of people won't necessarily know or care, unless major news media picks it up. Of course, then people will only worry about it for a few months and then when the next season of Dancing With The Stars come on, or the next celebrity scandal, they'll continue to drone on and watch that instead of worry about the major security flaw of devices they use everyday.
