Dunno. Some us us take more precautions than do
others. .. and BTW an attack of this type is not
"unlikely" if it has already happened twice in the
last month; plus, I suppose that there are other types
of hacks or attacks which can actually cause damage to
your data, instead of merely a delay.

He is probably (my guess) of the opinion that by now,
anyone with an interest in this device has already
copied the information, and made up their mind on
whether or not to try to replicate it- which was his
only intent for putting it up to begin with.
