I guess some on this very forum here are able to "look" into your whole network.
When using a computer connected to a hard-wired network, there is very little chance of anybody "sniffing" any data packets or eaves-dropping on your computer signals like there is with WiFi. Someone would need to physically be connected to the network for there to be a security compromise, and usually that's more difficult than sitting nearby a WiFi network and picking up rogue signals.
