I've seen compromised iot devices used to run proxy servers. They are mostly resold on black market as residential IPs for web scrapping and such. Since there is a black market for it they mostly get resold, instead of put to use on the free TOR network I guess.
Residential ISPs usually monitor the blacklisting of their IP addresses and will contact/suspend the customer once the IPs get listed on public black lists.

Does ge or Samsung do that in house? Ovens? Definitely some liability there, but I'm not sure which way that drives it, out or in.
