Not sure how he got it 'connected to his laptop', but probably through that he ran a packet sniffer like Microsoft Network Monitor or something? (I could be way off though lol)

P.S. man this really brings to light the scary world where every device is connected to the net and feeding data to big companies... not that they care about our personal stuff (I'm sure they are just computing data analytics), but it's creepy nonetheless.

The companies probably don't care about your personal data, but if they're collecting it and storing it, organizations who may be interested (FBI, NSA, IRS...) can then obtain your info from them.
