I have no doubt in my mind if this were to become commonplace, SOMEONE will push it's security to the limit and find a way to exploit.

No doubt, it's only secure now because no one has been able to really test it's security. I don't have a single doubt some russian hacker could have it streaming him credit card numbers in a few hours.
