Are Remote Settings stored in Plain Text in release builds?

I just tried using Remote Settings feature and found that I could easily edit the stored Remote Settings in the "values" file. This was in the editor ... so I am wondering if Unity does the same thing in release builds.

If so then it could allow people to cheat really easily.

 

This looks to be the case, we mention in our documentation that Remote Settings should not be considered secure, because they can be modified in transit or on the device https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityAnalyticsRemoteSettingsNetRequests.html
