Quite a few, according to the article, because up until late last year, ssh was enabled by default (granted most routers don't have that port open typically) : However, it warned that there could still be millions of Raspberry Pi boards that haven't been updated. Some 12.5 million of the single-board computers have been sold over <https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/raspberry-pi-sales/> the past five years, according to the official Raspberry Pi Magazine.
