No, changing the passphrase will not help, that has been covered in the announcement.
Use only HTTPS or a VPN.
For Windows and Linux get the patch, for Apple get the beta, for Android pray your phone will receive a patch.
For Linux and Android it is very serious because the key will be reset to all zeros, for Windows and Mac that will not happen because they did not follow the spec to the letter.
