They are connected so they can be controlled and serviced from a central location. These aren't consumer fridges. These businesses basically hire a servicing company and even lease the fridges from those companies. It's more cost efficient then having a guy in each store that basically does nothing all day to fix the occasional problem. And waiting for a repairman to physically come in so they can just reboot or just change some parameters is also not ideal. The problem isn't that they are connected the problem is that people don't take internet security seriously. Like recently some Danish government server got hacked and data from citizens got stolen because a government worker didn't change the default password of his account.
and now they're figuring out the other side of that cost equation, that there's a large amount of risk by exposing it. I agree on the monitoring side, that makes sense, but the fact that they had more than "read" permissions enabled at all shows that they didn't do security well, and this is the cost of doing that. If they didn't want to do security the right way, then maybe they should go back to how it was done in the 70s with a guy sitting in there watching them.
What!? And pay a person a wage!? No, better to spend billions of dollars putting it all in the cloud.
This. Also the 'but why do freezers go up to 70° celsius huh? That's so dumb! They're freezers!'
To thaw them out. Like that's it.
