You’d be amazed how the smallest amount of information can be used to invade your privacy.
I don’t know how fridges with WiFi works. But considering the rumors about connecting to open Wi-Fi connections automatically, let’s start from there.
1) What if a so-called smart fridge keeps a list of items you have stored in your fridge? Maybe there are temperature settings for different zones. Maybe a default is listed as “eggs”.
Ok, now you know that, presumably, your target really likes eggs. So much that he Selects that temperature by default.
Now you know what to look for to make potential physical contact with your target.
1) where is nearest store with eggs?
2) how often does he open and close the fridge? Maybe the data stored keeps that data. From there, you can guess how often your target may run out of eggs if he buys them a dozen at a time and opens the fridge every morning for breakfast.
3) you have three stored within cycling / driving range. You go to one of them to wait for your target.
Next scenario:
You connect to the fridges open Wi-Fi connection automatically. Oh, jackpot! This fridge has a camera in its screen! Now you have access to watch your target through the fridge camera.
Next scenario:
Maybe the fridge keeps a list of other Wi-Fi sourced it tried to access earlier. You can scan those and maybe try to guess passwords to break into those networks.
I could go on.
