I had one of these, from a legacy with Tiscali. I didn't use it other than for potential exploratory reasons. I was not surprised when it was hacked - I was well aware of the soft and strong access routes. But what I wanted to see was the reaction of TT.
In simple terms, there is no universal guarantee that you shall not be hacked. Anyone who claims otherwise is marketing their bullshit. Teams I have worked with have assured me that any hack will simply fall into one of many traps which will both adsorb the hack; identify the hacker (through various quasi legal processes) and deal with the problem. BTW see the comment about QLP.
And they were always right - they told me so themselves. But usually there were fewer than 50 of them. Which leads me to think that marketing may be less accurate than reality. Cos even assuming they were as good as the hackers I have been told about, well maths suggests there are a lot of holes - maybe 10 ^ 3 per hundred thousand lines of code (1%) and so with guy's trying to plug the hole in the dike, well 4 fingers and a dick ain't going to work.
But they always assured me they were in control.
Yep, believed that
Digressions but a realistic understanding of risk is probably useful. There are always more people looking to hack than making it in the first place.
Oh, and about TT, incompetent, stupid, multiple times used inappropriate scripts, which had the users known would have been lying, and soft targets if you were to spend sufficient time.
Sad to see my expectations gratified
