Exactly like what I thought. Any connected devices (via USB cable, WiFi, the Internet, etc) can be a (potential) vector (Postulate 1).

You've misunderstood the article. The vector has nothing to do with "connected devices".

The vector is like a mosquito, attack vector. Here software updating infrastructure is a kind of that, connected with your emulator and PC via the Internet.
