Knock, knock? Oh, no one there? No problem, Amazon will let itself in via your IoT smart lock

Re: low-value targets

I live on Long Island. Many of my neighbors have home theater installations in the basements, boats and second cars in the driveway, some of which are the expensive muscle cars they don't want to drive to the Long Island Rail Road door-ding and wheel-thief plazas car parks, all with keys probably hanging on a hook in the house somewhere.

I'm not sure why you think that Amazon customers wouldn't have stuff worth half-inching in an organized way. I reckon a half dozen teams working one work day could net quite a bit of expensive luxury swag working a scam such as I describe, and since the IoTat stuff is leakier than Quint's boat, rooting the stuff doesn't take a PhD or a room full of Russians.
