Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Note that there is no actual bricking, the change is reversible by
 rewriting the original ID to the EEPROM on the devices. So it is a lot of
 panic for not much.

 Also, not ALL Arduinos will be affected: they stopped using FTDI chips
 years ago and are using an AVR as a serial to USB adapter. And I doubt
 real Arduinos are affected (I can't find any official announcement from
 them at least). Cheap chinese copies probably are, but you get what you
 paid for with those.
