Concerning but key takeaway is to use strong password, use a name brand router, and reputable IOT devices.
I see the auromation devices online that are cheap Chinese product and stay away. I know that isn't a guarantee. However the massive attack referenced here were those devices with hard code passwords in the firmware.
So good message in here, but there are some common sense steps people can take to lock it down well.
EDIT: also update your router firmware! If you don't know how post here and we can tell you
