Just the tip of the Iceberg folks
The IOT era will be littered with hundreds if not thousands of similar incidents.
I for one will not connect any bit of kit in my home unless I know exactly what it is doing AND who it is phoning home to. I will also run my own intrusion tests to detect what ports etc are open.
Paranoid? Sure but I do not want my Fridge calling the supermarket with an order, my TV seeing that I might be standing stark naked in my front room and telling the world etc etc etc.
There will be some who are comfortable level of intrusion with this but I'm not and never will be.
