Right?

Think maybe THIS will get all these places (any that have been hacked) to start taking isolation and security seriously?

I mean, the reports of people hacking into home temperature control units, fish tanks, etc. years ago apparently wasn't enough warning.

I suppose they would file an insurance claim and not give a fuck. It’s no money out of the pocket of the bean counter who decides infosec costs more than it saves. OTOH, hopefully insurance companies would react by charging a higher premium to grocers who have cloud-controllable refrigeration and no proper infosec. And then maybe /that/ would turn this around.
