I can’t find it anymore, but there was someone who had some home automation where they could open or close their garage door from the internet. However it would occasionally open automatically. Eventually they realized it happens whenever they opened their browser. Apparently, they visited the page often enough for it to be favorited on their homepage. Unfortunately, it was written to act on any request, including GET requests and so whenever they opened his browser to the home page, it would fetch the favicon or preview and trigger the automation.
