  You should never fully trust ANY device on your network. Even if it’s not collecting your personal information and sending it off to who-knows-where, there could always be a zero-day exploit just waiting for someone to find it.

      You’re correct about an outside individual accessing your network, but that still doesn’t prevent a device on your network from phoning home.

      I think most people have at least some open ports, though. Isn’t port forwarding required for a lot of online games? It used to be at least.
