What was dangerous with the old one?

The MIB unit when connected to a wireless access point did not have a firewall running on that wifi interface.

From the wireless network it was possible to connect to the MIB unit.

The update makes it possible for the MIB to talk to things but not things to talk it.

Could have created a security problem.
