TLDR/W: It's moving around 13km/s, expected to pass nearby in 2028, and potentially collide with earth in 2032. Currently there's a 2.3% chance of that happening, though as more data is collected that number is expected to drop.
Volume and mass information is scarce as we discovered it too late for radar and are relying on optical observations. Current estimates put it between 40 and 90 meters across and anywhere from 25k tons up to as much as 1 million tons. If that was to hit earth; energy wise, that's equivalent to between 1 and 40 megatons of tnt. For reference, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima (Little Boy) was less than 1/66th of that power (the lower 1megaton number...).
It's a '1.5gigabit' fiber connection from Telus, in the middle of a city.
This is one of the reasons I host OpenVPN from home.
My mobile devices are always connected to my home VPN, so my traffic cannot be monitored or modified. Also keeps me behind pihole for adblocking and private dns records (self-hosted services).

Take action now, while you still can. It may soon be too late.
