Ouch..... I knew about the following potential vulnerabilities and so took a few countermeasures to reduce any risk.
Potential Vulnerabilities:
1)I use my organization's (university) network but with my own router which is configured to Expressvpn.
 2) I also used my organization-supplied windows 10 enterprise OS.

Countermeasures are

 1)I used expressvpn constantly via my router.
2) I have Kaspersky internet security and I routinely scan and had found no issues. 


Any critical feedback is welcome. THanks.
