If you are running Windows and your operating system is up to date you are safe to use your wireless connection.

The problem remains and will continue for any other operating system, especially phones.
Using phones on a router that has not been updated will open them to a security breach. Assume that any wireless connection is suspect. Well, actually that is generally a good idea anyway.
This includes personal hotspots.
Even though the connection between the phone company and the hotspot is secure, the connection between the hotspot and your computer is suspect. I would verify through your vendor that the patch has been put in place (and I doubt that any of them have or will do so immediately).
