In case you were wondering why a fish tank needs to be connected to the Internet, it’s because the casino wanted to do everything remotely, with employees using a remote connection to feed the fish and get all the information instantly, such as water temperature. But it was this connection that exposed the fish tank, and eventually, the entire casino, to hackers, as an unnamed group of attackers managed to infiltrate into the network and upload data on a server in Finland. The breach was eventually discovered, and the flaw was fixed, but there still are a few questions that need to be answered before connecting smart devices to the Internet.
