It's exactly as (un)secure as I expected. It's a wireless device made by bike part manufactures... can't expect better, realistically.

Still, I wouldn't recommend someone against buying one because of this. The threat model for cyclists is getting maimed by vehicles or psychopaths laying booby traps out there. Hackers messing with my gear shifting is the least of my worries.
