I don't know...it is right to be cautious but is it really worth it for the aliens to come all this way from their planets, burn all that fuel to come over here and take our resources back to their planets? what do we have left on this planet that might be useful to aliens? Oil? Oil is finishing already. We don't even have enough crops for ourselves let alone an alien species who wants to come here from light years away. Even if they want to come here to take us as slaves they need to feed us on their space ships until we reach the destination. and for that they need big space ships, and big space ships means big fuel amount. They might be able to use our planet's oil to depart for their planets, but they need to modify their ships to be able to burn our oil because of different carbon chains.
But what if they come here to stay? kill us all to make safe ground for their own kind, or their group...maybe they are mobs from their own planet that are being sent on exhile to here...we never know.
So Hawking is right overall for saying this...
It would be better for us not to contact any other species at the moment until the right moment comes. Don't ask me what right moment, because I also don't know. But when it is the right time and we are not in danger we may start looking for other intelligent species.
