You would need to do a risk assessment of you situation.

A decade or so ago we would regularly find hacked
UNIX systems of various sorts. Typically running IRC bots
but sometimes you'd find a sniffer. I haven't even heard of
a case of sniffer installs in years. It's much more cost-effective
to install a trojan that grabs keyboard input and searches for
information in browser wallet etc. Sifting through network data seems
like a pretty dead field for the black hats these days like expecting
a public school student to know Latin. Not dissing the thought
too much but we all have to prioritize our efforts.
