The HN headline is definitely ambiguous and, I'd say, wrong. Anything is "at risk to hackers" if you include all varieties of cracking (not just remote exploits, but physical attacks, social engineering...).
The site's current headline ("40% of Smart Homes Currently Vulnerable to Hacking") is somewhat better ("vulnerable" instead of "at risk"), but they clarify in the first paragraph ("... are vulnerable to remove (sic) hacks ...").
