If I had an IoT device, I'd name it 'Mr. Robot' just to mess with the hackers. They'd be so confused!

I'm going with the man-in-the-middle attack. The IoT device is being tricked into sending data to the attacker's server.

Wait, I'm pretty sure it's an SSL session hijack. The attacker is intercepting the encrypted communication to steal the data.

I think it's a reverse shell attack, where the compromised IoT device is giving the attacker remote access to the system.
