Yeah, but that's a problem even without an internet connected opener.
For example, my left most garage door opener happened to get onto the same frequency/code cycle as the neighbor across the cul de sac's door opener about a year ago and their opener opens/closes my door EVERY TIME. Mine is an old Craftsman piece of crap but it's the door I never use so I just leave it unplugged rather than trying to actually fix the problem.
If instead of RF with half assed code hopping we could use more secure tokens through a gateway device that introduced very little lag, we'd have way more secure garage doors than what we have now.
Unfortunately those Internet module additions to garage doors are just adding weak Internet security to weak garage door security.
