Stop relying on remotely controlled freezer. If it doesn't have a separate alarm and a locally controlled override then its shouldn't be allowed to be sold.

  • But if they do that how are the going to convince people to allow constant modern surveillance of their digital lives? Remember it's a business, it's not for humanity.

    It's not for us.

    This isn't really living, it's existing like cattle. Our grass is Netflix, shitty entertainment and marketed lifestyles that allow cultures and subculture to be monetized and mass manipulated.

    WTF do freezers need to be connected to the internet?

    Right?

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

    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.

    As I understand it, they had critical infrastructure, open to world+dog, all locked behind... (checks notes)... a username and password.

    Lemmy: Why was this shit on the internet?!

    Me: Why didn't they simply lock it down after the first hack?!

    I get corporate IT, been there, done that. But they could have locked access to a single IP or group of IPs. MFA anyone? How about a VPN between the freezers and home base or no access? These are easy and nearly free fixes given some IT labor.

    I bought a refrigerator that talks to the internet, why doesn't it always work? My mother tells me of ice-boxes which would have a large block of ice, placed on it, once a week. By a human deliverer. Fuck.
