Mini is a barely configurable hosted browser with one IP, one location, and one fingerprint. It doesn't return anywhere near full HTML/JS/CSS, but highly cut-down code generated by Opera's server. Unless somebody has found a way to hack that server, I'm at a loss as to what damage it could cause.
This seems to me a case of sloppy use of overly broad security tools.
