Next consider who is going to go to that extent just to hack you. Are you that important for a professional hacker to take the time? I mean this in general not specifically at you.

It is a non issue for the majority of users and just serves as a reminder to keep systems updated. Update router password? No, change it from the moment you install it.

More than this, it means they also had a poorly secured security camera or computer with webcam and decent wide area microphone, and NAS with a file share hosting their wedding photos.

A bit tenuous really.
