I can't believe that water infrastructure wasn't given the same treatment as our energy infrastructure in terms of doing a nationwide hardening of their networks back around 2018. As for healthcare networks, those companies should be held criminally liable for any patient that dies or is severely negatively impacted by unsophisticated cyber attacks. They have more than enough money to afford proper cybersecurity, so it's criminally negligent not to.
Being this is a state sponsored attack, I was really expecting something meaningful like spoofing, identity exploits, or insider threats, but nope. It's literally just a group of "hackers" typing in the default password of a device and gaining minor remote access.
