[1]Casino Gets Hacked Through Its Internet-Connected Fish Tank
  Thermometer

    Nicole Eagan, the CEO of cybersecurity company Darktrace, told
    attendees at an event in London on Thursday how cybercriminals
    hacked an unnamed casino through its Internet-connected thermometer
    in an aquarium in the lobby of the casino.

    According to what Eagan claimed, the hackers exploited a
    vulnerability in the thermostat to get a foothold in the network.
    Once there, they managed to access the high-roller database of
    gamblers and "then pulled it back across the network, out the
    thermostat, and up to the cloud."

  I didn't get a chance to write about this when it came out, but it's
  dissemination came at an opportune moment. About 1 hour earlier I was
  using the Target breach as an example of third-party risks.

  This story made an excellent follow-up.
