We have been talking about industrial control(s) security(especially SCADA) for some time now, well, when your thermostat starts talking Chinese to a computer in China, it's bad. Especially if that thermostat is connected to an internal network.
At one point, the penetration into the Chamber of Commerce was so complete that a Chamber thermostat was communicating with a computer in China. Another time, chamber employees were surprised to see one of their printers printing in Chinese.
