Is your fridge being hijacked by internet scammers?

Security researchers have reported that they've found household devices including televisions and a refrigerator sending out internet spam.

Proofpoint says it's discovered a new 'botnet' of 100,000 hijacked devices sending out spam email. However, it says more than a quarter of these messages weren't from conventional computers, but from devices such as game consoles, televisions - and at least one fridge.
