TCP Port 9999

[Anonymous Dude]

How safe is the connection from my computer to this TCP Port 9999 and what are the risks when putting my funds in the wallet that a hacker can get into this same port, and steal the funds?

Is it even possible for a hacker to get in through that TCP Port 9999 and do as the above mentioned?

AFAIK port 9999 has to be open to communicate with the masternode network.
