What this means in plain English: A very commonly used security protocol in a very commonly used software for hosting web pages and several other things had a means for the FBI to compromise it build in without the designer's consent. A lot of the code for this security protocol has been built into other software, meaning that pretty much everything you've done or said on the Internet, passwords, financial info, etc. is stored in a database somewhere that the FBI can easily access.
