Security and Hardware Questions

Wanted to check if there have been any known security issues having an Umbrel on a home network (for example, network packet sniffing). Also, can anyone confirm that the Umbrel does not have any microphones or cameras in it that could be snooping in the area?

I know this sounds paranoid, but just wanted to do a sanity check.

Umbrel has no built-in microphones or cameras. The software operates locally and uses encrypted connections for security. For added protection, keep your router up to date and consider placing IoT devices on a separate network.
