The lobby aquarium had an internet-connected thermometer — so staff could monitor the water temperature remotely, presumably from the couch, as one does. Attackers found it, used it to pivot onto the network, located the High Roller database, and walked out with 10GB of data. Through. The. Fish. Tank.

Now here’s the part that should actually keep you up at night: that thermometer is basically your printer.

And your smart refrigerator. And your kid’s drone. And the Star Wars toy that connects to the internet for reasons nobody fully explained. And the microwave that plays Spotify, because apparently we decided ovens needed WiFi now.
