If I had an IoT device, I'd name it 'Mr. Robot' just to mess with the hackers. They'd be so confused!

I'm going with the man-in-the-middle attack. The IoT device is being tricked into sending data to the attacker's server.

Nah, it's gotta be a honeypot! The attacker is just luring the IoT device into a trap, right?

Wait, I'm pretty sure it's an SSL session hijack. The attacker is intercepting the encrypted communication to steal the data.

I think it's a reverse shell attack, where the compromised IoT device is giving the attacker remote access to the system.
