AFAIK, yes, it's possible to be a target of such attacks, but not probable. There could present some security risk and you will need to take some precautions; as suggested above, run it over Tor network and avoid using VPNs. Also, no one needs to know you're running a nice or a mining rig for that matter, although the latter is much harder to keep private.

If you can, do run it over a different network that services your home. Same way you would not want to access your wallet address and Netflix on the same network and device.
