They do. There's a very active worldwide community of security researchers who are looking for exploits and loopholes that allow them to get into devices. Some have noble aims but others are looking to profit from this.
At a previous employer, who made gps sports devices, we were contacted by a security researcher from Portugal to say he'd found an exploit which allowed him to access data on the device. We fixed the problem, he presented his work at an academic conference.

This!
But I suppose as said earlier loaded folk who can throw 3k at a groupset are unlikely to go out of their way to avoid paying more to get the PM activated.
I've also maybe misunderstood the way in which it would be activated. Was thinking more along the lines of plugging a cable into it! I now realise thats probably unlikely and communicating with it would be done wirelessly.
So maybe couldn't happen as easily as I'd thought.Theres a child genius with mad hacking skillz and a keen interest in cycling out there somewhere!
