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.
