Well, it doesn't need to have it's own /spyware/ .... it might be badly
setup and perhaps be taken over by something smarter. This whole IoT is
very dangerous -- talk of putting them all on their own network is not
enough as each can attack each other and any of them can try to
compromise the /other/ network via jumping on to the network it is not
supposed to know about.
And yes, that might be extreme, but people are too trusting of junk that
is polluting this world just to make another dollar quickly; junk that
isn't secure to start with and too cheap to ever consider that to change.
