How did they hack it though? Was their user database compromised or did they get your info through some other means?
That kind of matters when you tell everybody to beware about account hacking for a particular service. |

There is a well known web site that use software to search the internet looking for devices connected to it. The robot software tests to see if the passwords are default and posts their results to publically open databases for hackers to use as they see fit.

One of the things I like about the Nest (yeah, not as good) is they support two factor authentication.

You need to change your password at every website that uses the same or a similar password or they could be compromised too. |

Mine is a RadioThermostat with the radio module on the side.
Someone screws with it, pull the radio module and it becomes a regular programmed thermostat. |

your password of "P@ssw0rd123" wasn't strong enough. ;)
Usually with hacks like that, it's either the company got hacked and the attackers got some list of accounts and passwords, or your password was too simple and a brute force attack got it right. OR... you're using the same password that you use elsewhere, and THAT password got hacked. |

do you save your passwords in your web browser by chance?
there's been attacks for a long time that will try and siphon those credentials that can be injected into advertising networks, so you could get hit by going to a legit site that sells ad space. |
