Yes like your router it is of your property and near you, so if you notice anything funny, you have wires and control and can always reset it, or change pool password, maybe check withdraw wallet if has been modified. If anyone uses your worker ID with their machines, they will just mine for you and add profit to your account. It's security depends much from WI-FI security, although a miner can't be seen by data sniffers or programs that attack wifi due to their ethernet connection which runs via cables, we all know that if youre successfully connected to the wi-fi network, you are in a LAN and you can perform easily IP and port scans to see any device and then you could inject data. It's mandatory to have a strong wi-fi password and to disable WPS protocol if present because all us technicians know it's a major security flaw. If the wi-fi is secure, only way to disturb you is to hack your pool or wallet website, but it's almost impossible since they're run by very expert people and somebody is always online to check. Furthermore, the connection is a stratum+tcp protocol which is similar to the onion one used in the tor network, and should keep you fairly anonymous, even for the pool owners.
