i think your concern should be relative to your value as a target of a hack. there's a reason billionaires have private bodyguards and we don't, and there's a reason high value systems are built from scratch in tightly controlled environments and use things like hardware based security

Any hacker knows that you go after the low value targets to get to the high value targets.
You hack the CEO’s secretary to get the CEO’a records. You hack the defense contractor to get to the defense agency.
The concept of a “low value” target is outdated, which is why there’s such concern about commodity IoT devices.

probs not a good idea to have this on any network with high value targets
I think he has a valid question. I’m in the market for a replacement for my Onion Omega2’s, so I clicked the link. The fact that the product page is exclusively in Chinese does not make me confident.
Western bias? Maybe. But that doesn’t mean the concern isn’t valid. I’d worry if it was in Russian, too.
