"Hackers use ‘smart’ refrigerator to send 750,000 virus-laced emails"
It's not just about the email.
Keep in mind these appliances currently don't have virus/malware protection.
No one could be thrilled to come home discovering some hacker turned on all the burners and the oven in their kitchen stove. Starting someone's car in the garage below their bedroom while they are sleeping. Set the heating thermostat to 90 degrees. Turn on the next door neighbor's electronics to full volume or any other neat little surprises this kind of technology offers.
I'm also fairly certain the secret service or FBI isn't going arrest the refrigerator. Someone would probably stand a better chance of them cuffing the voice going off in their head before that would happen :-)
