I haven't got enough information to form a judgement about it. Do you?

Yeah, I do.
It's about as sensible as the former Congresscritter worrying that because the ChiComs can detect some US radio signals, they will have access to Top Secret US Navy and Air Force communications. It's about as sensible as saying that because microwave towers transmit some of their signal into space, the ChiComs would have access to any communications that went via microwave.
The rule in the INFOSEC business is "risk management," not "risk avoidance." If you make avoiding risk the main criterion, then the only way you'll achieve success is forbidding all electronic communication of classified information because "SOMEBODY might gain access to it."
